Abstract

Post world war global scenario witnessed derivation of new world views on various spheres of human life viz. polity, economy, development and even the existence of humanity. Hence environmental issues as a movement took shape according to their popular concern about environmental pollution and the depletion of natural resources. Subsequently there casted more focus on environment from international community as legislations and various national and international factions and blocs came to existence with different world views in a way that more or less reflects their political stands and affiliations. Later events corroborate the very controversies and contradictions between developed and developing countries where the North and South dichotomy unveiled with arguments of industrialisation, poverty and population. This paper tries to delineate trajectory of emergence and development of different environmental world views with the help of literatures which marked milestones in the environmental discourses.
