THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THEIR TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN CONSERVING ENVIRONMENT Kavya Shukla, Student at the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab Download Manuscript This paper sheds light on the plight of indigenous communities as victims of climate change whose concerns have been institutionally sidelined and paid disregard by both the governmental and non-governmental bodies. The knowledge of the indigenous communities that has been garnered by them through centuries of experience and seasonal survival strategies shall be helpful in adapting and mitigating climate change, however, owing to our obsession with the modern and scientific methods, such traditional ecological knowledge is not paid due regard hence acting as retarding force in our collective development. The paper further enlightens regarding the intricate connection of indigenous communities and environment and how reciprocity exists between healthy environment and these people. The paper elucidates the injustice being meted out to these communities and seeks to enforce restorative justice through governmental measures. The paper attempts to sensitise the conscience regarding the sufferings of indigenous communities owing to disproportionate burden being placed on them despite contributing least to the adverse climatic changes. These communities have been forced to relocate and adapt to new changes in lifestyle which impacts their health and development. These communities share a spiritual bond with their lands and struggle to survive in the world of redrawn boundaries where these communities have been dislocated either regionally or nationally. The persecution faced by these people is a relic of historical colonization and contemporary capitalistic developments across the globe. This builds a strong case for indigenous communities to come forward and voice their concerns regarding the injustice faced by them. Restorative justice is the need of the hour to correct testimonial and environmental injustice. The paper elucidates the role played by Indian judiciary in safeguarding their rights while highlighting the significance of adaption and restoration.

Volume I Issue II /

SUSTAINING CREATION: EXPLORING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Unnati Nigam, 9th Semester Student at School of Law, UPES. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The participants’ religious convictions, their readings of holy scriptures, and their perceptions of humanity’s duty to the natural world are all covered in the interviews. The surveys gather information on environmental attitudes, behaviours, and how religious beliefs affect environmental awareness. Understanding the impact of religious beliefs in forming attitudes and behaviours towards the environment is essential given the increasing concern about environmental deterioration and the pressing need for sustainable practises. By evaluating the beliefs, values, and practises of diverse religious groups, this research seeks to uncover the connection between religious worldviews and environmental preservation. This study attempts to provide a thorough understanding of the relationship between religion and environmental preservation by looking at a variety of religious traditions, including but not limited to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous spiritualities. It tries to find similarities and differences between religious groups’ views on sustainability and the environment. Policymakers, religious leaders, and environmental organisations may benefit from the research’s findings when deciding how to include religious groups in environmental conservation activities. It is anticipated that the results of this research will further knowledge of the ways in which religious convictions might encourage environmental stewardship. It will clarify how religious teachings may be used to encourage eco-friendly behaviours, environmental protection efforts, and conservation efforts. It attempts to foster meaningful communication and cooperation between religious groups and environmental activists by bridging the gap between environmentalism and religion.
