Abstract:
Environmental protection is a global concern, and Bangladesh, like many other nations, has been
grappling with the challenges of implementing effective environmental laws. This study delves
into the intricacies of environmental law implementation in Bangladesh, shedding light on the
complexities and issues surrounding this critical aspect of environmental governance.
The study begins by examining the backdrop against which environmental laws have evolved in
Bangladesh. It traces the country's environmental legislative framework's historical development
and emphasizes the importance of aligning these laws with international environmental
standards. Furthermore, it highlights the significance of strong legal instruments to address the
pressing environmental issues facing the nation, such as air and water pollution, deforestation,
and habitat degradation.
One of the primary focuses of this research is to analyze the challenges faced by authorities in
enforcing environmental laws in Bangladesh. The study investigates the practical hurdles,
including resource constraints, lack of awareness, and bureaucratic inefficiencies, that hinder the
effective implementation of these laws. Moreover, it explores the role of stakeholders, including
government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the judiciary, in addressing these
challenges and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
The research also examines the impact of environmental law implementation on various sectors
of society, including industry, agriculture, and public health. It assesses the role of environmental
impact assessments and regulatory mechanisms in mitigating adverse environmental effects and
fostering sustainable development in the country.
