Abstract:

People are starting to see cleaner environments as a fundamental human right that improves everyone's quality of life. Environmental deterioration, urbanisation, and industrialisation have all contributed to a dramatic rise in pollution over the last few decades, which is having an obvious effect on people's health. Focusing on constitutional law in India, this article will examine the right to a clean environment from a legal perspective and will analyse how these right impacts people's health. It discusses how environmental jurisprudence, major legislations and significant judicial rulings have enhanced environmental protection. The paper also examines the direct and indirect impacts of the environmental quality on both physical and mental health by exposing the problems of air pollution, water contamination, and unbalanced ecology in cities. Besides, the impact of the governmental policies, difficulties in enforcement, and enforcement loopholes are also critically discussed. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of having better enforcement of the law, sustainable development, and also having the people actively involved in ensuring that the environmental rights are well enforced and that the health outcomes of the people are improved.
