Summary: | "The Natural resources of the Earth, including the air, water, lands, flora and fauna and especially representative samples of natural ecosystems, must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and future generations through careful planning or management, as appropriate." To this effect, the report of World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission Report), in its "Our Common Future 1987," suggested twenty two legal principles for environmental protection and sustainable development. Some of these are addressed in a holistic manner by the religious tenets of Jainism. This essay is an attempt to unravel these dynamics. |
