Abstract
A growing number of companies globally are now identifying the significance of sustaining the natural environment. The implementation of environment interventions is a mixed bag of achievements, slow progress and a lack of progress. Whereas, the progress on the policy and legal fronts is at the acceptable level, the environmental conditions in the country have not changed much to the better. The importance of environmental sustainability to development was captured in MDG 7. Despite some progress towards meeting this goal, there is still substantial unfinished business and new global and local challenges endanger the development and environmental gains achieved so far. To implement this agenda, a wide range of policies and policy reforms will be needed to promote inclusive and environmentally sustainable growth and improve the well-being of all. The Ministry of Environment would focus on and support its implementation. The policy and legal framework are adequate. Now there would be more attention to action to enhance environmental sustainability. The Ministry of Environment with support of the Planning and Development Division and involvement of its departments and agencies would take a lead and play a stronger role for effective coordination, catalytic action, support and monitoring for ensuring environmental sustainability.
