CLIMATE CHANGE AND LAW: INDIA’S PREPAREDNESS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

CLIMATE CHANGE AND LAW: INDIA’S PREPAREDNESS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Atul Singh, Lovely Professional University, School of Law, (Phagwara Punjab, India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.119 Climate change has been one of the most recurrent problems in the world in the last few decades. To cope with this problem, the countries have come together to make international agreements and national policies with focus on both reducing its effects and adapting to its ever-changing nature. The study examines climate governance, specifically focusing on India’s legal status and policy structures to ensure a sustainable future. The nation has made some good progress through constitutional provisions, statutory enactments, and judicial interventions, but its legal readiness is still weak and requires action. This study critically analyzes Indian legislation and statutory provisions with regards to climate change, assessing their adequacy when compared with global legal standards. It also makes it clear that climate change is not only an environmental problem but also a problem of justice, fairness, and human rights. The Study seeks to recommend legal reforms to create a robust and sustainable path for India by assessing current strengths, pinpointing policy deficiencies that are governing the current scenario, and drawing on comparative international experiences. This paper also stresses how traditional and indigenous practices are important for India, as they have been employed for centuries and have contributed to sustainable resource management, especially in agriculture sector. It highlights how Indian laws and policies can change to meet the needs of the country while also keeping up with new technologies.

THE EVOLUTION OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN CORPORATE CONFLICTS: INTEGRATING ARBITRATION, MEDIATION, AND ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN THE DIGITAL ERA

THE EVOLUTION OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN CORPORATE CONFLICTS: INTEGRATING ARBITRATION, MEDIATION, AND ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN THE DIGITAL ERA Parth Attry, LLB final year student, UILS, Chandigarh University, Gharuan, Mohali, Punjab (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.118 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has undergone a significant transformation in the corporate realm, evolving from traditional arbitration and mediation methods into more sophisticated and technologically driven mechanisms. This evolution reflects the pressing need to provide efficient, accessible, and cost-effective dispute resolution alternatives tailored to the complexities of contemporary corporate conflicts. The integration of arbitration, mediation, and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) represents a paradigmatic shift that harnesses digital tools to streamline processes while expanding access to justice. However, implementing digital ADR mechanisms introduces a multifaceted array of challenges, including technical limitations, data security concerns, transparency issues, and the potential for bias embedded in artificial intelligence algorithms. Legal and ethical considerations further complicate the deployment of technology-driven dispute resolution, necessitating a reexamination of foundational principles such as fairness, accountability, and confidentiality. This article explores the trajectory of ADR in corporate disputes, emphasising the interplay of legal frameworks and technological innovation. It argues for the development of a harmonised hybrid ADR system combining human oversight with AI-powered analytics to maintain procedural integrity. Policy recommendations focus on enacting uniform legislation to recognise ODR outcomes, fostering international cooperation to address jurisdictional complexities, and establishing rigorous digital security standards. By synthesising normative legal theory with contemporary technological developments, this study contributes to the broader discourse on establishing a reliable, transparent, and future-ready corporate dispute resolution architecture in the digital era. Overall, this paper seeks to contribute toward reimagining corporate dispute resolution in the digital era, where technological innovation coexists with ethical responsibility and legal certainty.
