An organization’s adherence to environmental laws, rules, and other policy processes is referred to as its environmental policy. The preservation of biodiversity, waste management, ecosystem management, air and water pollution, wildlife protection, and endangered species are a few of these concerns. Governments utilise environmental policy instruments as tools to carry out their policies. Various kinds of instruments are available to governments. To promote adherence to environmental regulations, for instance, financial incentives and market-based tools like taxes and tax 52 exemptions, tradable permits, and fees can be rather successful. India’s constitution is a live, breathing document that changes and expands with time. The constitution’s particular environmental protection provisions are a direct outcome of the fundamental law of the land’s dynamic nature and room for expansion. Our constitution’s preamble guarantees both human dignity and a socialist social structure. Every citizen of India is obligated to conserve the environment, as stated in the Indian Constitution’s chapter on fundamental obligations. It states that “every Indian citizen shall have a duty to have compassion for all living things and to protect and enhance the natural environment, including forests, lakes, rivers, and wild life.” In an endeavour to solve environmental concerns, India has made significant efforts. In addition to establishing organisations to oversee and implement laws, it has passed strict environmental laws. Only three nations worldwide have a Green Tribunal created specifically to address environmental disputes, including India. The National Environmental Policy (NEP) acknowledges the importance of using incentives and market forces as part of the regulatory toolset.
