Report: Delhi Can Reduce PM2.5 Exposure by 20% by 2040 with Timely Air Quality Measures
A report by the UN Environment Programme and Climate and Clean Air Coalition states that Delhi could reduce PM2.5 exposure by 20% by 2040 if it meets national air quality standards starting in 2026. Delays of about eight years could halve this reduction to 10%, increasing health risks. The report highlights 25 feasible solutions, including renewable energy and stricter vehicle emissions standards, with potential global economic benefits reaching 11.4% of GDP by 2100. Institutional barriers are noted as major causes of implementation delays.
