ARTICLES

THE THREAT ON ENVIRONMENT Prof. A.P. Singh* The world today has a threat from the increasing number of industries and over usage of the limited resources that the earth possesses. It has been rightly said “this world has enough for everyone’s need but not enough for everyone’s greed”. This article concentrates on the above point and thereby attempts to address the issue INTRODUCTION We today do concentrate on the fact that we have limited resources but still sit and do nothing towards it, and further this is declining the limited resources we have. In the following paragraphs the author tries to address the issues. In the course the author tries to analyse the issues raised by the various conventions and also further attempts to address the concerns of various governments and legislations made for promotion of this interest. THE CHANGE Mere raising of the issues at an international or national level will not serve any purpose till an action is actually taken. * The Author is a Professor at USLLS, GGSIPU Ms. Juhi Singh, The Fazer, India Today, vol. 23 issue 7 (Delhi issue), August 2011 {month and year}, at pg. 25
