what is the constitution of green movement and and green party to the protection of environment science its beginning
hi..
The green movement is a diverse movement that forwards the concerns of environmentalists, that is, persons who see the integrity of the non-human world as worthy of preservation both for its own sake and for the sake of human survival. Its membership is extremely diverse: scientists, political activists, rich and poor persons in all countries, and people with many different religious philosophies.
Since the 1980s, global climate change has been one of the green movement’s main concerns. Other concerns include organic agriculture, pollution, preservation of both multi-use undeveloped landscapes and wild places, protection of endangered species (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science-and-technology/biology-and-genetics/environmental-studies/endangered-species) , resistance to genetic modification of crops and livestock, and opposition to nuclear power. The movement comprises an array of political parties, advocacy organizations, and individual activists operating on international, national, and local levels. Unified by a desire to protect the environment, but otherwise diverse in philosophy and strategy, the various factions of the green movement have succeeded in heightening public awareness of environmental issues, have won some significant legal victories, and have influenced government policies, especially in Europe.

Do I need to memorize all the articles of the constitution to prepare for the exam?
greetings,
No, not at all. From a competitive exam's perspective (depending on the level of the exam) you need to remember a few important article number (not the content inside) such as:
- Articles related to Fundamental rights (all)
- Articles related to powers of supreme court and high courts
- Articles related to the establishment of core constitutional institutions (Election commission, President's office, emergency, etc.)
- Articles related to reservation, SC/ST and OBC categories, etc.
other than that you also need to keep in mind the various schedules of the constitution (just a basic knowledge of what each schedule holds inside) and the parts of the constitution.
All this knowledge is not to be learned by heart but be kept in mind. You need to be able to recognize a famous article such a Article 21 (right to life) or Article 32 (writs in SC) and don't need to remember the content inside.
Good luck
