Justice Nagarathna Calls Environmental Protection A Matter Of Global Regulation

Justice B V Nagarathna said environmental problems can spread across borders.

Pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss do not stay inside one country.

She said countries should consider how their actions affect people and nature elsewhere.

Courts must sometimes act before environmental damage is complete.

This can be difficult because scientists may not yet know everything about a risk.

The judge said environmental decisions should balance development with protecting nature.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta also called for balance between climate action, renewable energy, biodiversity, and development.

Justice Nagarathna said nature should not always be treated as less important than human interests.
