    (University of North Bengal, 2021-03) Raju, V Surya Narayana
    Sustainable energy is the energy that meets the needs of the present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, source that renew themselves, rather than sources that can be depleted such as Wind, Solar, Water, Bio-energy and geo- thermal energy etc. Usage of sustainable energy will not only decrease the energy crisis but also help to better the climatic and environmental conditions. The dedication to promote sustainable energy requires supportive policy and legislative framework. The Indian government is taking certain initiatives relating to energy sector particularly in order to develop renewable energy resources. This approach towards the development of verticals of sustainable energy is very encouraging. The steady and systematic development of non- conventional energy resources will give fruitful results for securing the better future. One of the main reasons for exploring the non- conventional energy resources or sustainable energy resources, because these resources are environmentally as well as economically sustainable by comparison with the conventional energy resources. The research paper will trace the development of sustainable energy in India, explores the provisions of renewable energy sources and concentrates on developing the idea of sustainable energy in comparison to other existed resources. In conclusion, it highlights what kind of paradigm shift would be required to be strengthened legal as well as policy making for securing better future in the field of sustainable energy.

    Examination of Legal Framework for Solid Waste Disposal and Management in the United Kingdom and South Africa: Lesson for Nigeria
    (University of North Bengal, 2023-03) Yahaya, Ganiyu; Kehinde, olufunke Adeola.
    One of the most pervasive environmental threats in the world is solid waste, which includes trash, refuse, garbage, and rubbish from residential and business operations. The threat is present in many nations, including Nigeria. Despite the existence of the necessary legal frameworks (rules and institutions), the inefficiency for the control and management of solid waste in Nigeria is very frightening. This article looks at the legislative frameworks for solid waste in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria in an effort to learn from them for Nigeria. To obtain data for a comparative comparison, the doctrinal approach of legal research was used. The analysis found that in order to manage and control the threat in accordance with the standard for best practices around the world, the existing legislative frameworks is insufficient. However, this paper came to the conclusion that the problem is not solely due to the inadequate legal framework; it is also due to the general lack of concern individuals have for solid waste management and control, which makes it impossible to achieve success despite significant effort. Lessons were drawn for a better control and management of solid waste in Nigeria as a way ahead.
