Abstract
Climate change is an issue of universal concern. Undoubtedly, human being is responsible to bring this disastrous changes to the environment. International and National efforts are warranted to check this disastrous effect way back in 1972. Yet till date desirous changes has not been seen in environmental upgradation. Therefore the author intends to critically analyze that who is responsible to protect the environment? The attempt of this article is to analyze that, how human actions that directly or indirectly degrade the environment in the present will affect future generations of humans and other living creatures. Government as a trustee of the natural resources should take rational and stringent steps for the protection of these for future generation. However, there is total callous attitude by the executive as well as legislature, as they are more interested in keeping this generation happy for their own personal gains. There are ample of examples which clearly gives us an idea about total failure on the part of government machinery to control pollution and protect the environment. In this context, this article seeks to focus on the individual duty to do the social justice to the future generations. The authors attempt is to bring the attention of every human being to the significance of the principle of intergenerational equity.
