Abstract: India is a prominent player in climate policy and politics. India is home to a substantial percentage of the world’s population that is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Although it has participated actively in international climate negotiations, its position has evolved over time. The main thrust of this article is to examine the threat of environmental deterioration in India by proposing some potential corrective measures for eco-conservation in India and by demonstrating the necessity of reassessing the effectiveness of nongovernmental environmental projects as well as stakeholders’ contributions to sustainable development in India. Rethinking how individuals, groups, and organizations may assist sustainable development, how the government can act as a watchdog, and how corporations can make a difference are all required. Only then would it be feasible to envision a future in which young people in this nation produce goods that promote sustainable growth, participate in conversations that offer solutions, and develop a workforce ready to face the challenges of the future.
