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

About the organisation
The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) was conceived and founded in 1988 by the late Mr. J. R. D. Tata, who sought to create an institution to conduct advanced multidisciplinary research (https://www.nias.res.in) located in the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) campus in Bengaluru. The Institute serves as a forum to bring together individuals from diverse intellectual backgrounds.
The Institute is unique in its integrated approach to the study of intersections between science and technology, philosophy, social issues, and leadership.
NIAS has an active program of public lectures, regional, national, and international conferences, symposia, and seminars organized independently or jointly with other institutions that focus on topical areas of research and public concern.
