Environment Pollution: A Need of Mass Movement

The key environmental challenges that country faces relate to the nexus of environmental degradation with poverty in its many dimensions and economic growth. These challenges are intrinsically connected with the state of environmental resources such as land, water, air and their flora & fauna. The proximate drivers of environmental degradation are pollution growth, technology & consumption choices and poverty leading to changes in relations between people and ecosystems and development activities such as intensive agriculture, polluting industry, and unplanned urbanization. However, these factors give rise to environmental degradation only through deeper casual linkages in particular institutional failures, resulting in lack of clarity or enforcement of rights of access and use of environmental resources, policies which provide disincentives for environmental conservation (and which may have origins in the fiscal regime) market failures.
