AQA India Parliamentary Round-table Series
In May 2018, the World Health Organization released its list of ‘20 Most Polluted Cities in the World’; out of which 14 cities are in India. There is a growing and urgent need for a National Action Plan to tackle the deteriorating air quality in the country.
In July 2017, a group of air quality experts, civil society stakeholders, and Parliamentarians were brought together to discuss the dimensions of the current air quality crisis in India and the possibility of a collaborative partnership to address this issue.
As a follow-up, the 2nd edition of the round-table seeks to convene a wider spectrum of stakeholders representing government, NGOs, academia, media, and industry to deliberate upon the creation of a National Action Plan on air quality. This plan will primarily focus on both the provisional and pragmatic solutions towards the overarching air quality struggle of India.
