ABOUT THE BOOK

Over the past decade, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has emerged as a pioneering institution in India’s environmental governance framework. Established to ensure effective and expeditious disposal of environmental disputes, the Tribunal represents a significant step toward strengthening access to environmental justice and promoting sustainable development. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution, functioning, and impact of the National Green Tribunal over the last ten years. Drawing upon doctrinal research, empirical analysis of case law, and examination of institutional practices, the study explores how the NGT has shaped environmental jurisprudence in India. It critically evaluates the Tribunal’s role in addressing complex issues such as environmental clearance, pollution control, ecological protection, and enforcement of environmental rights.

The book also examines patterns of disputes brought before the Tribunal, the functioning of its regional benches, and the broader implications of its decisions for environmental governance and policy implementation. Through this analysis, it highlights the strengths of the Tribunal as an innovative environmental adjudicatory body while also identifying institutional and procedural challenges that require reform.By situating the NGT within the larger framework of environmental rule of law and sustainable development,  this book contributes to ongoing scholarly and policy debates on the role of specialized environmental courts and tribunals. It offers valuable insights for scholars, legal practitioners, policymakers, environmental regulators, and students seeking to understand the evolving landscape of environmental justice in India.
