Abstract

AbstractThis research analyses the Basel Convention and India’s waste management systems, highlighting important shortcomings and offering recommendations for enhancement. It takes a look at India’s waste management methods. Waste segregation, incorporating informal workers, and reducing waste are all crucial, as seen by the success of measures in Mysuru, Delhi, Pune, and Sikkim. Recycling, waste-to-energy conversion, and sound policy are highlighted by examples from San Francisco, Germany, Japan, and Sweden. The research provides suggestions for India and possible changes to the Basel Convention to facilitate environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially equitable waste management.

期刊介绍： The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
