Dear Friends,
Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Goals provide opportunities for countries to integrate wetlands conservation and restoration as part of their mitigation efforts and national action plans for climate change reduction; Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).
All of you know that RAMSAR CONVENTION treaty was signed by Govt of India ,Ministry of Environment ,Forest & Climate change.
It's up to our country whether we will join next COP13 in Dubai or before that we will come out from Ramsar treaty obligation.
As such there is no legal frame work or bindings for the construction on public interest but violation of treaty agreement can tarnish the image of INDIA in regard to wetland conservation and it's sustainable usages.
India may not get any foreign grants on CLIMATE CHANGE , BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY or ECOLOGICAL BALANCE issues in future for violation of Ramsar Convention agreement at East Kolkata Wetland ( EKW) sites by Concrete Constructions for multiplex - real estates and other engineering projects development.
