Climatic Justice with Environmental Fortification: Expanding the Scope of India’s Vulnerable Community with Effective Applicability of Right to Life Resilience.

The study of vulnerable community well-being expands the applicability of India’s Article 21 resilience in addressing environmental degradation with the checks and balances system of the country's Climatic Justice Framework. This study is a pressing necessity for examining the existing vulnerability and role of India’s judiciary in interpreting the Right to Life and Personal Liberty, extensively dealing with the socioeconomic impacts of climate change. This doctrinal and exploratory study analyses India’s Article 21 resilience for vulnerable community protection with the applicability of Common but differentiated responsibility and Responsible Conduct (CBDR-RC) , Polluter Pay, and Intergeneration Equity. Previous studies have addressed that climate change poses a risk to livelihood, and people susceptible to climate change belong to the poor, marginalized communities, and workers exposed to stringent and inhumane conditions. However, none of the studies addresses the necessity of enhancing India’s climate framework with the overlapping applicability of Distributive, Climatic, and Environmental Justice (EJ) . This paper emphasizes widening the scope of Art 21 and emphasizing reparatory justice and framing India's appropriate EJ and Climate Justice Framework in mitigating the adverse effects of the country's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and understanding the rights of marginalized communities. Eventually, this research necessitates India's Re-examining and reforming policies with Community Renewable Energy (CRE) and CBDR-RC in safeguarding the rights of vulnerable communities. This research is a pressing priority of addressing India's climate change with transformative justice aimed at long-term sustainability and assisting the country to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2070.
