Environmental challenges that India faces include air pollution, water scarcity and contamination, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. Civil servants play critical roles in addressing these environmental issues by implementing and enforcing laws and policies that promote sustainable development and the conservation of natural resources. Some key roles played by civil servants include:

• Formulating and implementing environmental policies and regulations to address these issues
• Monitoring and regulating industrial activities to reduce pollution and ensure compliance with environmental standards
• Managing and conserving natural resources, such as forests and wetlands, to promote biodiversity and sustainable development
• Developing and implementing programs to promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change
• Building public awareness and support for environmental protection through communication and outreach efforts

By working together with stakeholders and the public, civil servants can help India achieve sustainable development while protecting the environment for future generations.
