Bangladesh's Environmental Infrastructure - Thematic Report

by Mahsinur Rahman | 21-12-2020 02:00 recommendations 0

With the up and coming danger of environmental change on one hand and the regular expense of falling apart livability on the other, Bangladesh is one of the most ecologically weak countires. The combatting of the squeezing needs of the climate can't be met without a successful legitimate structure and its appropriate usage. Consequently, on the event of World Environment Day, this article quickly traces a portion of the significant enactment which address ecological concerns.

 

The Environment Conservation Act 1995

This Act is the premise whereupon the Department of Environment is framed, the Director General (DG) is delegated, Environment Impact Assessment is completed and Ecologically Critical Areas are resolved. The Environment Conservation Rules are spread out under the Act, laying out the norms of the air, water and different segments of the climate. The Act has confronted reactions for distributing very wide powers to the DG, leaving, not spreading out the essential specialized capabilities of concerned authorities, deficient condemning and for leaving the provisos of "public interest" and "great confidence".

 

The Environment Court Act 2010

The Act intends to make a fast removal of cases identifying with natural mischief. Nonetheless, the viability of the courts are ruined as individuals can't straightforwardly move toward the court; rather the agent named by the DG of the Department of Environment should record a report whereupon awareness can be taken. The point of the Act to set up a climate court in each region has remained to a great extent unfulfilled. That, and the inability to guarantee that the authorities of the climate court are adequately illuminated on the essential information have been detours in the way to natural equity.

 

The Forest Act 1927

The Act was initially proclaimed with the target of managing the travel of timberland produce and the duties on such. However, it contains defensive estimates which can be actualized for the protection of timberland assets. It sets down exercises which are restricted in saved timberlands and punishes infringement of the arrangements. The Act likewise imagines the making of town timberlands, which would be a successful method to guarantee individuals' investment and network rights. Lamentably, this arrangement has not generally been drilled.

 

The Wildlife (Conservation and Security) Act 2012

This later law was passed with the end goal of moderating the biodiversity, natural life and woods of the nation. The Act takes into consideration the statement of safe-havens, public parks and network preservation regions and sets out the admissible exercises inside such premises. A noteworthy part of the Act is that it perceives public legacy, dedication trees or holy trees while regarding the customary or social qualities and standards of the networks. This is a major advance towards the acknowledgment of the privileges of indigenous networks.

 

The Brick Manufacturing and Brick Kilns Establishment (Control) Act 2013

Aside from these Acts, there are numerous different laws which by implication address ecological concerns. For instance, the Consumer Rights Protection Act of 2009, The Animal Welfare Bill, The Bangladesh Biodiversity Act of 2017, The Brick Manufacturing and Brick Kilns Establishment (Control) Act of 2013 -these contain arrangements which have natural effects. Metropolitan arranging has been tended to in the Playgrounds, Open Spaces, Parks and Natural Reservoirs and Preservation Act 2000 and air contamination is explicitly focused in the Clean Air Bill. For the insurance and protection of water assets, The Bangladesh Water Act 2013 was additionally instituted.

All these regulations are routinely applied and more and more ETPs have been installed for factories. These strong-arming moves by our Prime Minister, H.E Sheikh Hasina ensured her win for the prestigious Champion of the Earth award by the UNEP. The attached photo is part of the press release of our government.

    Hello Mahsinur!
    It's your SJ mentor.

    I hope you doing well.
    Thank you for sharing your thematic report concerning Bangladesh's Environmental Infrastructure.
    Reading your report, I was able to know the laws related to various environmental conditions in Bangladesh.
    I think we can preserve nature through regulations.
    However, voluntary participation by citizens seems to be more important.
    This could make a more eco-friendly and livable world.
    Hope things are fine with you.

    Best regards,
    SJ mentor.
