GLOBAL PROTOCOL

Not just the Rural but also the Urban Development which spread the best practices as success stories.

Rapid growth has had an impact on everything around including air and water.

SECTORAL BARRIERS

With the absence of legal framework, it is difficult to bring processesto action, technologies are either not developed at all for lack of a sufficientlyprofitable market, or if developed, are not accessible to end-user needs. Toomany Action Plans to follow, not a single one that works.

Immediate steps are essential for the protection of the Nature. Theprimary function of such attempts is to help stakeholders, for natureconservation and protection. The government should have the will power toevict those who have made damages. States do not have provisions forprotection, a lot more needs to be arranged to conserve the environment.
