About RGNUL Student Research Review (RSRR)

RGNUL Student Research Review (RSRR) is a bi-annual, student-run, blind peer-reviewed legal journal based at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab. We have been publishing the academic journal in association with the Eastern Book Company since 2014. The RSRR Blog was established in 2017 as a medium of voicing opinions and sparking discussions.

The Editorial Board invites submissions for the RSRR Blog Series on “DEFERRING THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXIGENCY: A REBELLION TO BEGIN?”

In the past few years, the world has begun to rapidly pace towards its doomsday. It is to address this need of the hour that 18 countries until today have declared a climate emergency, latest to join the suit being Scotland and Ireland. While the environmental urgency has been debated at several international stages in the last two decades, the ground-breaking solution still has not been found.

In light of the current plight faced by our country and the globe, RSRR calls upon the members of the legal community to revisit the environmental policies enacted by the Government of India and local state laws to bridge the loopholes address the emergency through state laws and policies. The focus of the discourse is to highlight the problems with the implementation of such environmental laws and envisage possible solutions.

This Blog Series aims to foster discussion and legal solution to the environmental crisis our country faces today. Furthermore, the authors are urged to highlight such environmental issues which have not been in public foray but require attention.
