In the era of market economy, environmental issues along with governance assume a significant position in the context of depleting resources and growing needs of the people. Traditionally policy makers perceived environmental issues to be outside the ambit of governance. However, in recent times new areas of conflict are emerging within the ambit of environmental governance. For instance, livelihood issues are in direct conflict with developmental projects like dams, industries, infrastructure projects and nuclear power plants. Hence, there is a need to rediscover environmental governance as a part and parcel of much broader governance. In this backdrop, Public Affairs Centre (PAC), Bangalore has taken the initiative to develop and promote green manifesto as a part of its initiative towards promoting good governance in the environmental sphere.
