India’s rapid industrial growth strains natural resources and generates pollution. Environmental economics quantifies these externalities, urging corrective taxes or incentives. Policies like the National Action Plan on Climate Change promote solar energy, energy efficiency, and afforestation. However, balancing the needs of a developing population with ecological conservation remains challenging. Exam questions often connect resource management (forests, water) to livelihood security, especially for tribal or rural communities. Focus also on green financing, corporate social responsibility mandates, and the interplay of environmental laws with economic policies for sustainable growth.
