Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.Environmental pollution is one of the serious problems faced by the people in the country, especially in urban areas, which not only experiences rapid growth of population due to high fertility, low mortality and increasing rural-urban migration, but also industrialization which is accompanied by a growing number of vehicles. In India, the rapid increase of human numbers combines with desperate poverty to deplete and pollute local resource bases on which the livelihood of present and future generations depends. Though the relationship is complex, population size and growth tend to expand and accelerate these human impacts on the environment.According to the World Development Indicators Report, in 1997, 1.5 billion people live exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution, 1 billion live without clean water and 2 billion live without sanitation. The increase in population has been tending towards an alarming situation. The worlds population was estimated to be 6.14 billion in mid-2001 and projected 7.82 billion and 9.04 billion in the year 2025 and 2050 respectively. The contribution of India alone to this population was estimated to be 1033 million in mid2001 which has been projected 1363 million and 1628 million in 2025 and 2050 respectively. (2001 World Population Data Sheet). According to the provisional results of the Census of India2001, the population of India on 1st March 2001 is 1027 million. If the world population continues to multiply, the impact on the environment could be devastating.Population impacts the environment primarily through the use of natural resources and production of wastes and is associated with environmental stresses like biodiversity, air and water pollution and increased pressure on arable land. India is the worlds sixthlargest and second fastest growing producer of greenhouse gases. Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai are three of the worlds ten most populated cities. Two-thirds of city dwellers lack sewerage, one-third lack potable water. India grows equivalent of another New York City every year in its urban population. By the year 2000, more than 350 million Indians will live in cities. In the next 15 years, more than half of Indians will be urban dwellers; 1/3 will be slum dwellers and squatters.India is one of the most environmentally degraded countries in the world and it is paying heavy health and economic price for it. According to a World Bank-sponsored study, estimated environmental damage in the year 1992 amounted to about the US $ 10 billion or Rs. 34,000 crores, which is 4.5 % of GDP. Urban air pollution costs India US $ 1.3 billion a year. Water degradation leads to health costs amounting to US $ 5.7 million every year, nearly 60 percent of the total environmental cost. Soil erosion affects 83 to 163 million hectares of land every year. Besides, land degradation leads to productivity loss equal to US $ 2.4 billion or 4 to 6.3 percent of the agricultural products every year (UNDP 1998).Q.How does population primarily impact the environment?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.India is one of the few countries with elaborate provisions for the environment in the legal framework. The courts in India largely relied on Article 21 for applying the law to the decision making process on various perspectives and provisional duties related to the environment. Protection of the environment can give rise to many challenges in a developing country. Hence, administrative and legal strategies are extremely important to ensure environmental harmony. T Damodar Rao v Special Officer, Municipal Corporation of Hyderabadwas a landmark case for High Courts in India to take up responsibility in specific and concrete decision making. Despite severe penalties, environmental laws in certain places seem erratic in their implementation and ineffective at many levels of administrative mechanisms.The courts have also laid down that protection and improvement of the environment is mandated for all institutions across the country and is a right as well. India being a developing nation with interests in growth and burgeoning developmental ideologies, the mandates of Courts are envisioned in a development-oriented manner, where the concept of Sustainable Development arises. A relatively new concept for India to focus on in terms of resource utilisation is reducing our collective carbon footprint and pollution levels. Sustainable development law is found at the intersection of three primary fields of law: international economic law, international environmental law and international social law. It refers to an emerging substantive body of legal instruments, norms and treaties, supported by distinctive procedural elements. This is incorporated on the justification that future generations may benefit from policies and laws that advocate environmental protection as well as developmental goals. This has recently been recognised by the Supreme Court in the M.C. Mehta (Taj Trapezium Matter) v. Union of India case.A notable action that could be taken is making the system more accommodating and approachable- Making it easier to read and understand the law provisions and statutes regarding Environmental Law for the general population and better mechanisms for efficiency as well as transparency within (courts) and outside (public spaces) the systems of administrative, legislature and judiciary can go a long way. Law is generally regarded as a Utopian system of action. Making it a more approachable and public-friendly system would allow it to work on an easier transition for the public. Systems such as Public Interest Litigations are focused on allowing people to issue and procure information from within the legal system on the matter of interest at hand. The Law is trying to focus on easier access for appeals and better capabilities of integrating the public interest within judgements and cases.Q.During the late sixties and seventies the city of Rijeka underwent second rapid industrialization. Few huge plants (new petroleum refinery facilities, power plant, coke plant) were erected in the industrial zone eastwards from the city. As a consequence, high emission levels resulted in elevated ambient air pollution so that the city was one of the most polluted in India. Rijeka’s main Industry was owned by the government cause depletion of drinkable water. Based on the principles and information set out in the given passage

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.Efforts to promote green growth as a new source of growth have been escalating in recent years in the face of acute economic and environmental challenges. Building on this momentum can help to expedite progress towards poverty reduction and sustainable development by using natural resources and other energy forms effectively and efficiently. Green technologies like low carbon technologies are being used in an effort to achieve green growth.Green growth is an outcome of sustainable development policy and it handles two key imperatives: comprehensive financial development needed by developing nations to reduce poverty and enhance prosperity and improved environmental management needed to handle scarcity of resources and unpredictable climate changes. The idea of green growth was taken differently by different governments. Some governments approached it from a short term growth perspective while others approached it from an environmental perspective.The main objective of growth mindset is to boost jobs and incomes through investment in green technologies and the environmental perspective is aimed at internalising environmental externalities by mainstreaming sustainable development requirements into economic decision making.Apart from these two imperatives, few developing countries have proposed the idea of equity and inclusion in green growth. According to this notion, green growth should also serve those who are excluded by current economic system. Informal economy is very large in many developing countries, which leads to a growing convergence around the notion that current economic system is unsound in terms of sustainable resource use and distributing costs and benefits equally.In order to achieve sustainability and to identify and develop particular areas of opportunity and comparative advantage, governments of few developing countries have recently embarked on domestic processes like carbon taxes, green energy funds, renewable energy initiatives, etc. However, there are few holistic green growth policies, strategies and institutional systems in place. Some developing country strategies stand out. For most countries, however, national sustainable development strategies go some way in forming an integrated green growth policy framework, though green growth has rarely been addressed in mainstream economic, budget and fiscal policies.Q. Which of the following is an initiative by governments of some developing countries to ensure sustainable development?
