Air pollution in India is a clear and present crisis that calls for year-round action. Understanding modelled data on long-term air pollution trends can help explain the underlying contributing sources, as well as their spatial and temporal variation.
In this session, we will discuss how such data can strengthen air pollution and public risk communications; and inspire action from policymakers and the citizens. We will also unpack India's growing air pollution trend (1998-present) as captured in the GBD MAPS assessment, look to understand uncertainty in global assessments, and how domestic research groups can strengthen these assessments.
