|June 06, 2025
Ina stirring convergence of law and environmental —consciousness, the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) hosted the SILF Climate Change Conference and Awards 2025 in New Delhi on World Environment Day, recognising the Indian judiciary’s unwavering role in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development.
-
The event was graced by Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge of the Supreme Court of India, as Chief Guest, and Justice Jasmeet Singh, Judge of the Delhi High Court, as Guest of Honour.
The highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of the SILF Sustainability Award 2025 to Justice Abhay S. Oka, former Supreme Court Judge, for his extraordinary contributions to environmental jurisprudence in India.
Delivering a powerful keynote, Justice Oka stated, “Environmental justice cannot be separated from social and economic justice. Pollution and environmental degradation hurt the most vulnerable the hardest, affecting their dignity and the basic rights under Article 21 of our Constitution.”
He lamented the lack of recognition for environmental activists and emphasised the need to translate judicial principles into action.
“On World Environment Day, we must honour the unsung heroes of environmental protection and turn our ideals into tangible action,” he added.
