6. Violation of this law amounts into serious disruptions,
but such disruptions can hardly be visible instantly.
Coercion has little role to play in making people abide
by environmental law.
Each person, even the minors, needs to be cautious
by themselves to take environmental law seriously.
Successful application of environmental law brings
prosperity for many future generations.

7. This course is aimed at introducing the students
to the regime of environmental law and its
development in Bangladesh. Understanding of
this subject will be completed by learning about
the concept of ‘Development’ and its connection
to environmental protections.

8. After completion of this course the students will be able to:
1. Comprehend the legal development regarding
environmental protection of Bangladesh;
2. Analyse the co-relation between development and
environmental conservation;
3. Explain the dispute settlement system relating to
environmental issues in national level.

11. Development can not be sustained if the
environmental resource base and essential
environment processes on which it depends are
not maintained or are diminished to a level from
which they can not recover.

15. There has been a dramatic growth of environmental
institutions. As of 2017, 164 countries have created
environment ministries or the equivalent (cabinet-level bodies
with responsibility over issues explicitly including, but not
necessarily limited to, environmental protection).
Of the remaining countries (countries without environment
ministries), 22 have environmental entities with the functional
role of independent government agencies and 7 have other
entities with responsibility for environmental matters.
