It is not only a concern of the Global North but also a serious concern of the Global South as they have experienced the impact of climate change and ecological crisis. Green crimes refer to offences against the environment and are a significant concern because of their detrimental effects on both the ecosystem and human society.

In addition, this paper also seeks to examine the shortcomings in the application of current regulations, assess the environmental and socioeconomic consequences, and suggest efficient preventive measures. This study utilizes a systematic approach to understand and analyze the problems based on secondary sources of data.
