In-Depth: India’s Forests & Biodiversity | 24 May, 2026

In the twenty-first century, the relationship between development and the environment has moved from the margins of policy debate to the centre of national decision-making. For India, the task is especially complex, balancing rapid economic growth with biodiversity protection and climate action. Key to India’s green pathway is the understanding that environmental protection and economic development are mutually reinforcing pillars of national progress. This vision also takes into account the current reality of climate change. As the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident across regions and sectors, the country has recognised it not as a distant risk but as a present developmental reality requiring both preparedness and proactive mitigation. Accordingly, India has adopted a calibrated approach that simultaneously strengthens biodiversity conservation, builds climate resilience and advances sustainable growth.
