About the Book

Environmental Issues by H. M. Saxena is a comprehensive guide to understanding the environmental challenges that have become central to the development debate in the 21st century. These issues intersect with political, social, and economic concerns, making it crucial for policymakers, administrators, and the general public to develop a clear understanding of them. Recognizing this need, the Government of India has incorporated environmental studies into the curriculum for civil services and other state-level examinations.

This book focuses on the core topics of environmental ecology, biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable development, presenting them in a clear and non-technical style. It examines major global and national concerns such as deforestation, pollution, energy crises, global warming, food production challenges, loss of biodiversity, waste management, and the pursuit of sustainability.

Key features of the book include:

• A structured exploration of environmental issues and their socio-economic implications

• Discussions on the impact of climate change and biodiversity loss on sustainable development

• Multiple-choice questions to support students preparing for competitive examinations

Suitable for students of environmental science, aspirants of civil services, and general readers alike, this book offers both conceptual clarity and practical insight into environmental management and sustainable growth in India and beyond.
