A dying beach and a new erning – case study (VIDEO)

Climate Change Movement has a third world twist in India. While the Western World is ahead both in damaging contributions to Nature and starting a green initiative to check it, in populous countries like India there is a different take on it. With globalization and open market, India is surging forward with a 7 (or thereabout) % GDP growth for several years now and is considered a new emerging super power next to China. Some experts place more trust on India’s growth on account of its huge knowledge base,  human resources and reasonably stable political system (a secular democracy) as opposed to China’s single party based regime. However, the same potential for growth and optimism is also a deterrent for any effective Environmental Governance, at least one that can ensure control of anthropogenic downside (read destruction and meddling with Nature) as understood or perceived in Europe. This is a fundamental dilemma that policy makers in Cancun faced and, I am afraid, with little hope of resolving. What rich can do to atmosphere by their affluence, poor can do with their numbers. If greed is the engine in the west, aspirations for a ‘comfortable’ life is the spinning wheel in India and mostly South Asia.

I do not subscribe to the idea of adopting policies that overlook right and just aspirations of people, simply because such policies are not enforceable. Some workable remedy to Climate Change essentially should involve a popular understanding of the damage and its impact and thankfully MDGs are fundamentally directed towards that. Investments are a priority for eradication of poverty, hunger and illiteracy and not for casinos, resorts, 125 storey shopping malls – certainly not in India.

A case in point is Mandarmani Beach in West Bengal, in eastern India.

West Bengal is one of those lucky places on earth which can boast both the lofty heights of Himalayas and blue waters of Bay of Bengal. Well, only till recently. The state has a meager 650 Km of coastline of which nearly 500 Km is an estuarine delta, way too dynamic morphologically with one of the world’s largest upland sediment discharge. A stretch of about 50 or so Km from Digha (border of neighboring state of Orissa) to Junput (or arguably a place named Dadanpatrabar) is a tropical sandy beach with its appropriate ecology.
