ABSTRACT
All over the world, environmental degradation and its effects on human life are now evident. In essence, the environment is currently a major global issue. Environmental risks are gradually getting worse every day in a variety of ways. The global community is very worried about it. Global treaties, conventions and principles are attempting to address the environmental crises and problems, such as ozone layer depletion, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity degradation. Since gaining its independence in 1971, Bangladesh’s government has passed the environmental legislations i.e. The Environment Conservation Act, 1995 and The Environment Court Act, 2010 and so on to safeguard the environment. The Environment Court Act, 2010, has been enacted by the government in response to this. Based on primary and secondary sources, the study examines the various aspects of the Environment Court’s practices and challenges in Bangladesh. Additionally, in this study a descriptive, thematic, and doctrinal legal research method has been followed with integrative literature review on legal mechanisms for analyzing overall provisions on court practices in Bangladesh. Therefore, the study aims to analyze existing environmental remedial mechanisms and point out challenges of protecting environmental rights of the citizens. Moreover, role of existing laws on environment has been focused in the study as a significant objective of the study.
