As levels of toxic air continue to rise across major cities, especially in and around New Delhi, IMPRI aims to foster informed dialogue rooted in research, evidence, and actionable policy insights.India’s air pollution challenge is not merely an environmental issue—it is a multidimensional crisis shaped by economic choices, governance structures, and political priorities. From vehicular emissions and industrial pollutants to agricultural practices and urban planning failures, the crisis stems from a complex web of systemic factors. This discussion explores how political will, public policy, and institutional accountability influence both the causes and the effectiveness of responses to worsening air quality.Beyond policy and politics, the session foregrounds the profound human impacts of toxic air—ranging from serious health implications to long-term socioeconomic burdens on vulnerable populations. By situating scientific data alongside lived experiences, the panel seeks to highlight the urgency of coordinated and equitable action. The conversation encourages participants to reimagine cleaner futures, rethink governance frameworks, and contribute to building a sustainable, breathable India.#airpollution #pollution #cleanair #environment #ClimateAction #AirQuality #AQI #PublicHealth #PanelDiscussion #Breath #Lung #Policy #Impact #Research #PolicyResearch Event Page: https://www.impriindia.com/event/air-pollution-crisis/
