India's Progression in Addressing Climate Change: An Overview of Current Legislative Reforms

Abstract

The issue of climate change is complex and has significant effects on India's legal system as well as its socio economic environment. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the legal aspects of climate change in India by looking at its effects, current legal remedies, and future legal actions. In India, the consequences of climate change are seen in a number of areas, such as infrastructure, public health, agriculture, and water resources. Natural disaster frequency, water scarcity, and food insecurity are all made worse by rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall patterns, and extreme weather occurrences. Social inequality is exacerbated by these effects, which disproportionately harm underprivileged communities. From a legal standpoint, India has addressed climate change with a number of policies and laws.
