Even as there is room for improvement for India when it comes to sustainable practices, it bears the brunt of taking the blame for environmental damage and climate change, while many other nations fly under the radar, Supreme Court’s judge Justice Surya Kant said Friday.

While Justice Surya Kant was the chief guest, Justice K V Vishwanathan, Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice P S Narasimha were present as speakers.

Justice Surya Kant said there are countries, which are unable to handle their environmental issues and it is manifested in instances such as shipping of waste to developing and under developed countries. “…There are countries who are the highest generators of waste in the world, especially in terms of e-waste and marine debris. But what adds insult to the injury, is that these countries often export their plastic waste and very conveniently circumvent their need to address their ineffective waste disposal mechanisms,” he said.
