Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies, IIT Bombay is organising a Policy Dialogue on 08 October 2022. It aims to discuss different perspectives on the recently proposed amendments in key environmental, wildlife, and related central legislations.

Context
The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has proposed to amend key environmental governance legislations for environment and wildlife protection and prevention and control of pollution. The amendments aim to reduce the burden of compliance, rationalize penalties, and structure the funds, amongst other objectives. In addition, they seek to modify the processes to introduce uniformity and consistency in the application of the legislation across different states. It strives to bring the select legislations up to date with the multiplicity of changes since their enactment.

Rationale of the Policy Dialogue
The Policy Dialogue aims to contribute to the public consultation process, and to analyse the amendments proposed from diverse perspectives. The paradigm shift in approaches to environmental governance have implications on policy formulation and need to be analysed from the point of view of multiple stakeholders. Thus, the Dialogue intends to bring together various perspectives to constructively discuss and contemplate upon the proposed amendments.
