| Summary/Abstract |
Energy security is considered to be a universal issue in the twenty-first century. It denotes the right to use reliable sources of energy at competitive prices produced in an environmentally sustainable and safe means as well as the security of supply and demand. The strategic significance of energy security has been stirred by the political and economic events since 1970. The purpose of energy security is to guarantee adequate, reliable supplies of energy at reasonable prices in ways that do not endanger major national values and objectives. Energy security has different dimensions that vary from economic, environmental, social, foreign and technological progress which differ from country to country, and also from one period to another. To meet the growing aspirations of the people and the economies of South Asia, countries are under massive social and political strain to secure reliable, sustainable and reasonably priced energy supplies to meet the escalating demand for commercial energy. Energy security is thus no longer merely a catchword but an irrefutable reality for vital economic development throughout South Asia. And energy security will remain a high priority issue all over the world and the duty of ensuring energy security to the people and the state is not only confined to national governments but also to regional and international regime. This article analyses the emerging trends of energy security through the most debated contemporary issues such as climate change, sustainable development and globalisation.

| Summary/Abstract |
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) strives to increase the number of natural World Heritage Sites to protect it from the onslaught of climate change and anthropogenic disturbances. The international community at the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2015 recognized reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries as one of the best low cost panacea for global environmental problems. India, in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) promised to increase its forest cover as an effort toward the mitigation of climate change. All these efforts are directed toward saving our Earth from the worst impacts of global warming. In the midst of these efforts, the conservation of Western Ghats is one of the central hotspots of biodiversity and deserves special attention. Thus, this paper looks into the questions how the Heritage Tag and Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP) report causes intricacies in the conservation of Western Ghats? And why local inhabitants are so much apprehensive about the conservation of their region? This study proves that negligence in addressing the concerns and participation of affected stakeholders, from the framing of the conservation projects to its implementation, leads anti-conservation movements. Additonally, such conservation projects will never break ground and will remain on paper.
