India Scores Low in Global Assessment of Health Integration in Climate Plans
A 2026 assessment by the Global Climate and Health Alliance ranked India among the lowest scorers, with 2 out of 32 points, for integrating health considerations into its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) on climate action. The report evaluated 117 countries, highlighting that India’s climate plans lack meaningful references to health impacts and air pollution despite high pollution-related mortality. Low- and middle-income countries dominated the top rankings, with Colombia leading at 29 points. The findings underscore gaps in linking climate goals with health benefits in India’s updated NDCs.
