Intersection of Technology and Environmental Law: Recent Developments and Future Challenges

Abstract

Due to the growing effect of technical breakthroughs on the environment, the confluence of technology and environmental law has become a crucial field of research. This research analyses current advancements in the area and pinpoints potential problems brought on by the fusion of environmental legislation and technology. The study examines the current legal frameworks that control how technology and the environment interact. It looks at how environmental laws have changed to address issues related to emerging technologies, including how to safeguard digital ecosystems, and how to enforce environmental standards for new technologies like artificial intelligence. The urgency of addressing the convergence of technology and environmental law is emphasised in the paper's conclusion. To create a balance between technological progress and environmental sustainability, it urges proactive measures such as strict legislation, technological innovation, public awareness, and stakeholder participation. This research examines the recent advancements in environmental law and technology, outlines the issues that may result from this confluence, and provides insights into possible avenues for building a sustainable and technologically enabled future.
