The inaugural edition of the dialogue On Air, organised in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, will focus on pathways to achieving India’s ambient air quality standards. Held bi-annually, the dialogue On Air, will feature conversations with scientists, policymakers, researchers, civil society experts, communication specialists, journalists, and on-ground actors supporting India’s transition towards cleaner air.
Cleaning our air requires simultaneous policy efforts across several different sectors. Indian authorities have implemented several measures to address pollution over the last few years. Yet, these measures may not be enough for India to achieve its National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in the coming years.
The dialogue will also include views from on-ground actors and high-level experts on crop-residue burning and emissions inventories.
Read the CEEW-IIASA report on Pathways to Achieve National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in India, our brief on What is Polluting Delhi’s Air?, Paddy Residue Burning in Punjab and Alternative Methods to Monitor Air Pollution.
