Abstract

India's journey towards sustainable development intertwines complex environmental challenges with the interplay of political will and policy formulation. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of India's environmental policies, focusing on their evolution, influence of political will, progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), existing challenges, and potential pathways for fostering sustainable development. The examination of India's environmental policy landscape traces pivotal legislations like the Environmental Protection Act (1986) and the National Environment Policy (2006). The role of political will emerges as a crucial factor in shaping these policies, wherein ideologies, public sentiment, and global engagements influence decision-making processes. Assessing India's progress towards SDGs reveals a nuanced narrative, showcasing advancements in renewable energy adoption while highlighting persistent challenges in air quality, water access, and biodiversity conservation. Challenges and opportunities within India's environmental sphere, including conflicts between developmental agendas and conservation, escalating waste generation, and air pollution, are discussed. Recommendations emphasize the need for policy coherence, public awareness campaigns, enhanced institutional capacities, strategic partnerships, and community engagement to overcome these challenges. This analysis underlines the imperative for India to harmonize economic growth with environmental sustainability. By implementing recommended strategies and fostering collaborative efforts, India can stride towards a future where environmental preservation aligns seamlessly with developmental aspirations.
