We are the first generation to realize that our action is creating deleterious impact on our planet. We must prioritize and give utmost attention and care to our environment as it is degrading at an alarming rate. Youth of this generation are becoming more conscious about this future in this environmental crises.

The debate on governments responsibility for the protection of environment is gaining momentum in Nepal, the Environment protection Act, 2076 (2019) has replaced the earlier environmental Protection Act 2053 (1997). The Parliament enacted the Environment Protection Act, 2076 (2019) (the “Act”) on July 19^th, 2019. The current Environmental protection Act addresses the issue of the Climate change which was not included in the previous regime. It stresses to put the authorities to make the general public aware of climate change. Addition to this it aware the government of Nepal to recognizes the various sectors that produce and emits the green house gas and mitigates its effect in the environment. The concept of Carbon trading with foreign government and institutions was also emphasized by this Act.  The concept of carbon trading originated in Kyoto Protocol, as per which each country has a cap on the amount of carbon they are allowed to release. It has also granted the right that any country that has the higher carbon they are allowed to trade from the country which has the lower carbon emission. In the context of the world wide scenario china is the biggest emitter of the green house gases followed by  the USA , India, Russia and japan. Environmental protection and climate change has major impacts and consequences in Nepal because it is a country heavily dependent on agriculture. Installing more regulatory safeguards and imputing higher punishment will deter people from harming the environment.
Hence, this Act is a positive measure undertaken to improve the quality of life and the economy. The current Act of Nepal incorporates more safeguard and imputes higher liabilities on business to protect the environment. It has prioritize  for the submission of environmental study report as a regulatory safeguard for the protection of the environment. In terms of punitive measure, fine for approval and implementation of project under the earlier legislation amounted up to Rs. 100,000. Under the current legal framework, a fine of up to five million rupees can be charged for non-compliance. Thus, the new law imposes much higher amount of fine in comparison to the earlier legislation as well.

This is not only the way to safeguard our environment, we must have to be consensus our self for the protection of the environment from the individual level. Law connects us but our self morality inspires us as well others.
