Some of the activists featured include Sunderlal Bahuguna, Medha Patkar, Maneka Gandhi, Mahesh Chandra Mehta, Sunita Narayan, and M.S. Swaminathan.
Negative impact of global climate change
Global climate change is caused by both natural and human factors. Natural causes include volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, variations in the Earth's orbit and tilt, and fluctuations in solar energy. However, human activities such as burning fossil fuels, land use changes, industrialization, and ongoing greenhouse gas emissions are also contributing to increased global temperatures beyond anything experienced historically. As the climate changes, impacts will be felt through rising sea levels, stronger extreme weather events, altered ecosystems, and threats to human systems and livelihoods.
Environmental Issues and Sustainability
This document discusses environmental problems, their causes, and sustainability. It provides general statistics about the Earth, notes that the world population is growing at 2.5% annually, and examines environmental indicators like depleted soils, food shortages, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, polluted rivers, and increased disease. It also discusses biodiversity hotspots and defines environmental science as relating to the relationships between organisms and their environment.
Chipko Movement
The Chipko Movement was started in 1973 in India to prevent the cutting of trees in the Himalayan forests. Local villagers, primarily women, would embrace trees to protect them from being cut down for commercial purposes. This helped protect the forests, which were critical for the livelihood and environment of rural communities. The movement was led by activists like Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Sundarlal Bahuguna who organized protests against deforestation and large projects like the Tehri Dam that would displace many people and impact the local ecology. Through non-violent protests and raising awareness, the Chipko Movement successfully advocated for policies that placed people's needs and forest conservation over commercial interests, helping preserve India's Himalayan forests
Women in sustainable development
This document discusses the roles of several influential women in environmentalism and sustainable development. It introduces Rachel Carson, known for her book Silent Spring about the impacts of pesticides on nature. Maria Cherkasova is highlighted as a journalist and ecologist in Russia. Vandana Shiva and Wangari Maathai are presented as environmental activists advocating for traditional farming and reforestation, respectively. Medha Patkar and Sugathakumari led important movements involving dams and forest protection in India. Mayilamma protested the environmental impacts of Coca-Cola in her village. Overall the document emphasizes the importance of women's perspectives and participation in environmental issues and development.

Environmental movement in india
The environment plays a vital role in human living. The environment comprises of all the natural resources such as air water, land, forests, and minerals. It is responsibility of populace to protect the natural resources. Nonetheless, due to technical advancement and other reasons, there is a lot of misuse of these natural resources, in the form of land degradation, water pollution, air pollution, and deforestation. All these factors lead to worsening of environment. Great efforts are being made in order to regain the environment by people through voluntary organizations, which have concerns about the environment. There are cases where people have revoked and adopted non-violent action movements to protect their environment (Arne Kalland, Gerard Persoon, 2013).

Narmada Bachao Andolan
The Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) is a social movement founded in 1985 under the leadership of Medha Patkar to protest the Sardar Sarovar Project on the Narmada River in India. The NBA opposes the project due to concerns over inadequate resettlement of displaced persons and environmental impacts. It advocates for the rights of Dalits, Adivasis, and minority communities affected by the project and government development policies. Over three decades, the NBA has organized protests and legal challenges that have led to some improvements in rehabilitation policies but many issues remain unresolved as construction of the dam continues.
Environmental policies in india
The document discusses several key environmental policies and acts in India, including the Forest Conservation Act of 1980, the Environment Protection Act of 1986, the National Environmental Policy of 2006, and the Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1981. The acts were established to regulate activities that impact the environment, conserve forests, establish standards for pollution control, and advise the government on improving air quality. Violations of the acts can result in penalties such as fines or imprisonment. While the policies aim to protect the environment, pollution remains a major problem in India due to non-compliance, requiring a change in practices to minimize environmental exploitation.

Human environment interaction
Humans depend on natural resources from the environment to meet basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Resources can be renewable, like wind and sunlight, or nonrenewable, like fossil fuels which are limited. How people use the land depends on both environmental factors and human culture, and land use has changed over time as human needs and activities have impacted the environment. Managing resource use involves balancing economic benefits with reducing pollution and environmental impacts.
Global warming and its effects
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth from increased greenhouse gas emissions. The key greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide released through burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. As greenhouse gas levels increase in the atmosphere, they trap more heat and cause the planet to warm, leading to changes in climate patterns and severe environmental impacts such as rising sea levels, stronger storms and hurricanes, more frequent droughts and heat waves. To reduce global warming, individuals and governments need to lower carbon emissions by transitioning to renewable energy, driving and flying less, improving energy efficiency, and planting more trees to absorb carbon dioxide.
Environmentalism
The document discusses different theories and paradigms of environmentalism. It defines environmentalism as a social movement and body of thought concerned with limiting human impacts on the natural environment. It then outlines key aspects of environmentalism like awareness, knowledge, participation and capacity building. The document discusses the history of environmentalism from the industrial revolution to modern times. It also outlines different paradigms for understanding the relationship between environment, society and economy, including economic environmentalism, radical environmentalism, reform environmentalism and ecological modernization.
Overview of climate change
Climate change is caused by both natural processes and human activities that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect traps heat from the sun like a greenhouse, keeping the planet warm enough to sustain life. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gases to levels that are forcing global temperatures to rise at an unprecedented rate. This is causing dangerous impacts like rising seas, stronger storms, more severe wildfires, and threats to food and water security. To address climate change, societies must work to both reduce emissions and adapt to the changes that can no longer be avoided.

Sustainable development ppt
1) Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
2) Education for sustainable development aims to integrate principles of environmental protection, economic growth, and social equality while addressing issues like population growth, resource use, urbanization, and environmental degradation.
3) Key organizations that have promoted sustainable development include the UN, UNESCO, and WCED, with conferences and agreements focusing on issues like climate change, pollution, and intergenerational equity.
Environmental activism
Environmental activism aims to protect the natural environment from destruction or pollution. However, since 2000 environmental laws and regulations have come under increasing attack from corporate and political leaders who oppose further restrictions. As a result, nonprofit environmental groups play an important role by educating the public, organizing grassroots political pressure, and holding governments and companies accountable through legal and policy advocacy. For example, Greenpeace has pressured the Indian IT sector to reduce its carbon emissions and consider more sustainable infrastructure growth. At local levels, citizen initiatives encourage simple lifestyle changes like using less energy, water, and transportation resources to help address environmental challenges.
Views from around the Globe: Countering Violent Extremism
To better understand public perceptions around violent extremism, CSIS commissioned a global survey with 8000 participants in eight countries: China, Egypt, France, India, Indonesia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Participants were asked 65 questions on the scope of violent extremism, motivations and drivers, responses to the threat, and effective strategies to combat it.

The chipko movement
The Chipko movement began in the 1970s in Uttarakhand, India as villagers hugged trees to prevent them from being cut down by forest contractors. Led by Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Sunder Lal Bahuguna, the movement gained momentum when villagers like Gaura Devi and women's groups embraced trees to stop axing. Through rallies, songs, and civic participation, the movement drew national attention and successfully advocated for a 15-year ban on commercial logging in the Uttarakhand forests, saving over one million trees from being felled. The Chipko movement inspired global environmental activism and emphasized the connections between local communities and the conservation of forests.
