The Centre for Science and Environment(CSE) has released its annual State of Environment Report, 2021. This year\u2019s assessment has been made against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. The report highlights the dismal state of the environment in India wherein the country is jeopardising its natural wealth for meeting its economic objectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It also throws light on the impact of Covid-19 over India, which may create a pandemic generation in future<\/strong> who would possess poor health and education levels.<\/span><\/p>\n The report is a reminder for humans to stop indiscriminate usage of the environment<\/strong>. As the Environment has increased, the progression towards sixth mass extinction. The focus should now be on developing eco-friendly products and living harmoniously with nature<\/strong> in order to attain sustainable development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n First<\/b>, the data shows that <\/span>humans possess a minuscule level of information <\/b>to tackle future pandemics. The world remains ignorant of 99.9 percent of potential zoonotic viruses.<\/span><\/p>\n Second<\/b>, the nations would be left<\/span> with poor human capital<\/b> in the future if immediate steps towards sustainable development are not taken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The report said that malnutrition and hunger levels could rise with more pandemic events in the future. This would reduce the potential of human capital.<\/span><\/p>\n Third<\/b>, <\/span>humans have been increasingly exploiting the environment, <\/b>as observed by rising air and water pollution levels.<\/span><\/p>\n A reduction<\/strong> in intervention would allow natural healing of the environment<\/strong>, as seen by the appearance of the \u201cclean air and blue sky\u201d during the country-wide lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\n Fourth<\/b>, <\/span>India is performing poorly in the attainment of SDG goals <\/b>in comparison to its peers. It is behind all South Asian nations except Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n Challenges such as hunger, low food security, achieving gender equality, fostering innovation are the reasons why India\u2019s rank slipped in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n Fifth<\/b>, the loss of species and biodiversity shows a progression towards <\/span>the Sixth Mass Extinction<\/b> (Holocene extinction).<\/span><\/p>\n As per the report, before an extinction phase sets in, there are two signs:<\/span> Loss in population and shrinking distribution areas<\/b>. These two signs are evident among all species currently.<\/span><\/p>\n The State of Environment Report<\/a> is a reminder of the progressive worsening of the environment due to human actions. It calls for resetting our relationship with nature in such a way that it leads to sustainable development. India should now switch from a reactive to a proactive approach<\/strong> in order to mitigate and develop greater resilience against the upcoming environmental changes.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction The Centre for Science and Environment(CSE) has released its annual State of Environment Report, 2021.
