Abstract
This paper examines the feasibility of utilizing climate litigation to mitigate industrial pollution in Bangladesh. There are environmental laws in place, including the Bangladesh Environmental Conservation Act of 1995 and the Environment Court Act of 2010, but their implementation is poor. Such circumstances result in substantial pollution and place a disproportionate burden on marginalized communities. This paper argues that climate litigation can also help address enforcement gaps and promote environmental justice. It cites examples from India, South Africa, and the Philippines. The study claims that to hold industrial polluters accountable and to protect vulnerable communities effectively, the right approach will require comprehensive legal reforms, special environmental tribunals, and greater community participation. The findings emphasize that Bangladesh should adopt the best practices worldwide for environmental governance to create a just and sustainable future.
