India’s Progress On Environmental Sustainable Development Goals: A Review

Abstract

Environmental sustainability: ensures that the environment is preserved and used wisely, preventing it from being overused as a resource. Water conservation, the use of renewable energy, encouragement of ecologically friendly transportation, and improvements in green building and architecture are just a few of the variables that impact environmental sustainability.

India has repeatedly demonstrated its dedication to environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and a concentration on renewable energy to decarbonize its economy. Different organs of the Indian government like the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), MoEFCC ( the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change), and MoHI (the Ministry of Heavy Industries scheme to promote electric vehicles) along with others, have been the main driving forces behind India’s effort in this direction because no single ministry is responsible for moving India towards net zero.

Policymakers and business executives can invest in least-cost energy solutions, secure and resilient energy systems, efficiency and competitiveness, and social and environmental equity to drive short-term recovery and long-term resilience for India’s better, greener future. This review article gives an insightful analysis of environmental SDGs in India. As a result, the report will offer basic information about India’s Progress on Environmental Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, this review paper emphasizes the significance of sustainability in terms of waste management, green cover, technology adoption, financial requirements, etc. The current study also focuses on successfully applying technologies in the Indian subcontinent. Furthermore, education is essential for long-term sustainability in various social, economic, and cultural settings throughout the globe. The broader public’s access to the environment is also crucial.
