In the framework of sustainable development, environmental preservation and management must be linked to social, economic, and environmental advancement.
Sustainable development will not be achieved if one of these pillars is compromised.
One cannot yet consider an individual who is conscious of their surroundings to be in a ‘literate environment.’
It must involve a person’s comprehension of the risks associated with pollution or environmental harm and their ability to educate others about the problem.
He needs to put it into practice there by engaging in behaviours that can lessen the pollution issue, including recycling to cut down on trash dumping, carpooling to cut down on air pollution, and so forth.
To address society’s indifference to environmental issues, civic awareness is very important.
Public participation in environmentally friendly practices will be a big impact on sustainable environment.
At the same time, it is also important to create awareness among the industries that adopt environmentally friendly practices.
This is because among the industry, they are the drivers of economic progress.
Apart from awareness programs, enforcement aspect should not be underestimated.
Enforcement is essential to ensure that environmental resources are used optimally and does not affect the quality of life for the present generation and future.
Achieving a more sustainable environment requires a combination of regulatory, economic and values-based actuators
Compliance and enforcement play a direct role in ensuring the integrity of the regulatory system.
Ideally enforcement must contain restrictions or penalties credible and transparent and unequivocal so heavy that no one wants to violate it.
