This study investigates the current situation of Sundarban, both in terms of physical and sociocultural aspects. The study traverses through the harsh conditions of the region and the societal preparedness to face them. In order to save Sundarban, there is a need to change the ongoing model of development and conservation in the area. Environment Induced Resettlement and Profit-Sharing Model (ERPSM) proposes a sustainable approach to give nature the required space to recover from the ongoing degradation. A consortium of government, cooperative and corporate can bring necessary change through a participatory approach. It may be proposed, that successful implementation of ERPSM can significantly improve indicators of several Sustainable Development Goals. The suggested model will generate economic incentive for the government and the affected population to encourage measures to save the islands which are rapidly getting eroded and also draw public and private investment in the process.

Green bonds are a relatively new funding instrument for green projects that have steadily become the first line of defence against climate change. India, in particular, has immense scope to diversify the green bond market beyond renewable energy. This brief analyses the policy structure of countries that have successfully utilised green bonds. It then focuses on the untapped potential of India's institutional investors and self-help groups (SHGs) to raise capital through the retail bond market. The brief proposes a comprehensive green bond policy framework for India to strengthen and expand the current ecosystem.

There is a need for more synergy between the election agendas and their implementation to tackle environmental issues and the impacts of climate change.
