Abstract

According to their GDP growth rates India and China are the fastest growing economies of the world today. Apart from this statistical index they share also the label of “new emerging powers” of the Asian continent and probably of the entire globe, imaginatively identified in the acronym “Chindia”. From the aforementioned assumptions, the chapter deals with the environmental protection and development, the constitutional differences between the "right-based approach" and the "State-centered environmentalism", as well as with the specific legislations, aiming at critically rethinking Indian and Chinese approaches to environmental sustainability.
