Lancet Commission Highlights Global Health Threats and India's Air Pollution Challenges
The Lancet Commission on 21st Century Global Threats to Health identifies 17 major risks to humanity, including air pollution, climate change, and nuclear conflict. It highlights that India faces political challenges in addressing air pollution linked to agricultural practices. Limiting global warming to 1.8°C could prevent nearly 1.9 billion years of lost healthy life caused by threats like extreme heat and pollution. The commission emphasizes that marginalized communities bear the greatest burden and calls for policy action, innovation, and investment to mitigate these risks.
