The ‘Environment, Natural Resources and Sustainability’ theme of the Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Contemporary Studies (RGICS) brings to you this edition of Policy Watch.
The Policy Watch issue has three articles from this theme and one infographic sourced from the Indian Express. The infographic is based on work done by the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), highlights adverse ecological changes due to human activities.
The cover article is based on a dialogue organized by RGICS in January 2019 on “How to Make Environmental Issues More Salient in India’s Politics.” This article also draws lessons from the European Green Movement.
One of the sub-themes we study is Jal, Jangal, Jameen (Water, Forests and Land). We have so far carried out field-based policy research in Water and Forests.
The second article highlights India’s water crisis and provide some policy solution to balance constant supply of utilizable water and increasing demand.
Finally, the last article looks at the potential of forest based livelihood and its challenges in India.
