The objective of this Country
Environmental Analysis was to help strengthen the
environmental policy implementation framework, to meet the
challenges of a rapidly growing and extraordinarily diverse
economy in India. In particular, the study aimed at
assisting with the implementation of the new National
Environment Policy (NEP 2006), which was released in draft
for public consultation at the time this study was
initiated. This study focused on identifying and proposing
ways to address major gaps in the existing institutional
arrangements, as well as regulations and incentives for
post-EM environmental compliance and performance. In view of
the focus on the growth-environment nexus, the study covered
three select sectors - industry, power (including three
distinct sub-sectors: coal-based power generation, hydro
power generation, and transmission), and highways - that are
among the key drivers of growth. Together, these sectors
represent a wide range of environmental impacts, sources and
regulatory issues that allows drawing conclusions of broad
relevance. The analytical framework used by this study was a
combination of sector-wide reviews, based on secondary data
of issues, policies, regulations and institutions, with
several case studies of implementation experiences. Ranging
across seven Indian States, the project-level case studies
helped to gain a deeper understanding of barriers, as well
as contributors, to better environmental compliance and
performance in the real-life situation. The case studies
involved primary data collection and consultations with
local stakeholders. Selective reviews of international
experience in environmental management were also conducted.
The findings from all reviews and case studies have been
integrated to leverage support for corrective actions
building on a growing number of good practices in India and
internationally. The key findings and recommendations of the
study are grouped under five themes: (i) facilitating
national dialogue and public participation; (ii) expanding
the regulatory toolkit to enable environmental compliance;
(iii) strengthening the capacity o f environmental agencies
to meet the growing demands, (iv) aligning sectoral
incentives with environmental priorities; and (v) working
across sectors. |
