The document discusses key concepts related to environmental administration and sustainable development. It defines the environment, sustainable development, and environmental administration. It also outlines several relevant environmental issues, problems, legislative measures, institutional measures, and global environmental interactions. Specific environmental projects in India are also summarized, including the Ganga Action Plan, National Green Tribunal, National Lake Conservation Plan, and Capacity Building for Industrial Pollution Management.

1. Environmental Administration

2. Environment
• The natural environment encompasses all living and
non-living things occurring naturally on Earth.
• Environ means surrounding
• According to UN convention, “Environment is the
sum of all social, biological and physical, chemical
factors which compose the surroundings of man.”

3. Concept of Sustainable development
• There are many definitions of sustainable
development, including this landmark one
which first appeared in 1987:
"Development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs."

4. Concept of Sustainable Administration
• "Sustainable development is development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It
contains within it two key concepts:
• the concept of needs, in particular the essential needs
of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should
be given; and
• the idea of limitations imposed by the state of
technology and social organization on the
environment's ability to meet present and future
needs."

5. Environmental Administration
• It is a concept of managing human affair in
such a way that biological health, diversity and
ecological balance will be preserved.
• It is also defined as process of carrying out
activities which are concerned with protection
and enhancement of the quality of the
environment.

13. Global Environmental Interaction
• UN Convention on Environment at
Stockholm,1972 is a basic foundation for
global environment interaction.
• The United Nations Environment

100% Centrally funded scheme and aimed at
preventing the pollution of river Ganga and to
improve its water quality. The plan was started in

• National Green Tribunal (NGT) : The National Green
Tribunal has been established on 18.10.2010 under
the National Green Tribunal Act 2010 for effective
and expeditious disposal of cases relating to

restore and conserve the urban and semi-
urban lakes of the country degraded due to
waste water discharge into the lake and other
unique freshwater eco systems, through an
integrated ecosystem approach.
• CAMPA:
Compensatory Afforestation Fund
Management and Planning Authority

17. CAPACITY BUILDING FOR INDUSTRIAL
POLLUTION MANAGEMENT
• The Capacity Building for Industrial Pollution
Management (CBIPM) to build capacity at the
state and central level, and develop a
framework to address these issues in a
comprehensive and systemic manner under
an area-wide management approach.

18. Conclusion
• There should be a integrated approach
towards evolving an international system.
• There should be recognition between sound
environmental management and international
economic development.
