Development And Environment

The conflict between economic growth and environment is sharper today than ever before, particularly in developing countries like India. India, just like other developing countries, has adopted development strategy based primarily on large-scale industrialization, energy-intensive technologies and biochemical-based agricultural technology which has led to environmental degradation. The legislative and executive efforts have been notable towards Environmental Protection laws and principles in the legal jurisprudence of India, most notably the 46th Amendment to the Constitution of India in 1976 which explicitly laid down Environmental Protection as part of the Constitution and enactment of the Environment Protection Act 1986. Though initiatives have been taken by the Legislature and the Executive, the Judiciary has taken a lead in this race through careful judicial thinking of the Courts which has been very helpful in controlling environmental pollution. Due to non-compliance of its own laws by the State machinery, the Judiciary invented a new method of Judiciary-driven implementation of the regulations in India. Recently judicial activism has provided impetus to campaign against various environmental pollution issues arising in the country. The Indian Judiciary has interpreted Art.21 to give it an expanded meaning to bring within its ambit the right of every citizen to a clean, safe and healthy environment. The author in the current paper aims to analyze how far judicial activism has been effective in bringing about improvement in the environment and also aims to show how sustainable development is important to secure long term economic development in the country and make the economy resilient to future contingencies.

The Impact

Subject. China's industrial sectors are important vehicles that made China the global leader of GDP and economic growth. However, China managed to reach such results sacrificing its environment. The study discusses the coordination of actions spurring the economic growth and environmental protection in order to avoid such sacrifices for the sake of the national economic development. Objectives. We examine the mechanism of bilateral effects on the economic growth of China's industries and environmental protection to provide the empirical framework for the reasonable natural protection policy and environmental regulations. Methods. Theoretical projections stem from the analysis of economic literature and empirical research on resources, environment and sustainable economic development in the existing theories of economic growth. Results. Having analyzed how the environmental pollution and the industrial economic growth of China correlated, we found that a set of various environmental pollution indicators strongly differed from the empirical findings of the study. Therefore, it is still not found how the economic growth of China influenced the environmental pollution. Conclusions and Relevance. The improvement of the environmental quality is not an unavoidable endogenous result of the economic growth. If the Chinese industrial sectors continues growing extensively, the environment will grow even more polluted. It is necessary to determine a reasonable environmental protection policy to combine it with economic growth, and tighten the environmental regulations.

The Relationship

PurposeGiven the recent rapid economic development, the processes of industrialization and urbanization are accelerating. At the same time, the contradiction between environmental quality and economic development has become increasingly prominent and is likely to restrict the normal pace of China’s economic development and environmental protection. As such, the purpose of this paper is to incorporate the urbanization factor into an analytic framework to discuss the relationship among urbanization, economic development, and environmental pollution.Design/methodology/approachA panel data of 31 Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2015 is selected for this research. A spatial correlation test is first conducted on the environmental pollution status, then the spatial Durbin model is used to carry out spatial econometric testing of the relationship among the above three factors.FindingsInterprovincial environmental pollution in China has significant positive spatial correlation, environmental pollution discharge in most provinces is significantly stable, discharge of environmental pollutants is transitioning from coastal to inland provinces, and urbanization and economic growth can both aggravate environmental pollution, but economic growth can relieve environmental pollution in neighboring provinces.Originality/valueThe relationship between economic growth, urbanization, and environmental quality has always been an important issue for sustainable development. As such, China’s urbanization leads to economic development, while rapid economic growth and environmental pollution are coordinated. This paper focuses on the specific relationship between them. To this end, local governments make concerted efforts to formulate sound environmental regulation policies based on local environmental conditions, where economic development is an effective means of alleviating the contradictory relationship between economic development and environmental protection.

Harmonious development of environmental protection and economy is a realistic choice made in specific national situation for economic development and environmental protection. It has some kind of complexity. However, large and medium-sized cities develop very fast and the problem of environmental pollution becomes more and more obvious. Thus, how to effectively coordinate the paradox between economic development and environmental protection in large and medium-sized cities and achieve the good cyclic double-win between economic development and ecological environment are the main contents of this paper.
