India Clean Air Connect is a response to air quality convenings hosted by the India Climate Collaborative, Clean Air Fund, ClimateWorks Foundation and Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation in 2019 and 2020.
India's air pollution is not limited to one city or one source
Solving for India's air pollution crisis means:
1.
Aligning efforts across different disciplines to address multiple sources of pollution
2.
Improving air quality in all 124 non-attainment cities, 73 polluted industrial clusters and more
3.
Amplifying and strengthening existing efforts and networks
124 Non-attainment cities
73 Critically polluted industrial clusters
If your work seeks to improve India’s air quality through communication, advocacy, research, policy change, planning, litigation, community engagement or market-based solutions, join #IndiaCleanAirConnect

About the Event
The National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), launched in 2019 is a national-level strategy to address air pollution in India. The NCAP has given a strong impetus to air quality action in India, with 100+ cities springing into action through the creation of dedicated city clean air plans. Following the introduction of the NCAP, million-plus cities in the country are now also recipients of dedicated funds for air quality action. NCAP has resulted in augmented air quality monitoring across cities, strengthening of local action on air quality and increased evidence on the nature of pollution in Indian cities. While NCAP has strengthened air quality management, action needs to be scaled up to effectively address air pollution in India. This talk will try to unpack the different components of the NCAP, explore how it has improved city-level clean air planning and explain how NCAP has evolved in the last four years.
