A Comparative Study on Environmental Development and Issues between India and China

Abstract

This study comparatively analyzes the environmental development and issues between India and China. The analysis of types of pollution of both the countries were discussed like causes of air pollution and steps to be taken by both the countries for the development issues etc, are investigated and compared with quantitative economic indicators. The comparisons show that environmental degradation in both the countries, in the long run, was closely related to economic growth. However, when compared to Japan, the tempo of environmental policy development in China and Korea has been faster than that of their economic growth. It is proposed to constantly improve legislations and regulations to properly handle the interests of the state, enterprises and individuals, and to enhance the cooperation with all countries in the world to jointly cope with environmental issues at international level. The components of the natural environment are used as a resource however it is also exploited by the human being in order to fulfil some basic physical needs and purpose of life. It should not challenge our natural resources and stop putting so much pollution or waste to the environment and value natural resources and use them by staying under the natural discipline (Singh, 2013).
