Environmental issues are integrated into the UPSC syllabus, particularly in General Studies, where topics like sustainable development and climate change are emphasized. Candidates must understand the challenges facing the environment, policies for conservation, and global environmental treaties. Awareness of India's environmental policies, biodiversity, and natural resource management also plays a critical role in shaping aspirants’ perspectives on governance and public policy. Ultimately, grasping these issues prepares candidates to address pressing environmental challenges in their future civil service roles.
