The escalating incidence of environmental crimes globally necessitates an innovative and robust approach to environmental protection. This paper introduces the concept of a green constitution as a pivotal strategy for addressing this issue. A green constitution integrates environmental safeguards directly into the foundational legal framework of a nation, thereby elevating ecological preservation to a constitutional priority. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework that outlines the key elements of a green constitution and its potential efficacy in preventing environmental crimes. Through this framework, it explore how constitutionalizing environmental rights and duties can significantly enhance legal enforcement of environmental standards, provide clear policy guidance, stimulate public awareness and participation, balance economic development with environmental sustainability, and align national policies with international environmental commitments. The paper also examines the challenges of implementing such a constitution and suggests viable solutions. By advocating for a constitutional approach to environmental protection, this paper aims to contribute to the global discourse on sustainable development and the vital role of legal systems in safeguarding our planet's future.
