Dr. Thajamanbi Yumkham, Assistant Professor, Department of Law, Manipur (A Central) University, Imphal, India

ABSTRACT

The need for a harmonious equation between that of human development and a wholesome environment is the central idea in the principle of sustainable development. This inevitable need has achieved global consensus as reflected in both the Stockholm Declaration on Human Environment, 1972 and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, 1992. The focus in this paper is to explore how the central idea of sustainable development is engrained in both these significant Declarations. Furthermore, it seeks to discuss the inclusive strategy embodied in the said Declarations for the fulfillment of the goal of sustainable development by full participation of not only state actors but the community members as a whole. It moreover, throws light on some of the significant national efforts made in the context of India to facilitate active community involvement in the pursuit of accomplishing good environmental governance and sustainable development.

Keywords: Sustainable development; community participation; Stockholm Declaration, 1971; Rio Declaration 1992
