Combating Air Pollution in North India: A report by World Health Organization in 2014 stated that New Delhi has the most polluted air in the world. The same list states a number of other cities in North India are amongst the 30 cities with the worst air pollution in the world, i.e. Ghaziabad, Kanpur, Allahabad, Jalandhar, Lucknow, Agra, Ludhiana, Khanna, and Jodhpur. Air pollution has serious health effects for India’s communities, as studies show that high levels of air pollution lead to declines in life expectancy. High levels of air pollution also have consequences for the business climate in North India, as foreign companies are wary of placing their personnel in cities with high air pollution and tourists are dissuaded from traveling there. To help address this issue, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi invites program proposals for a series of workshops focused on air quality issues in North India. Through these workshops, the U.S. Embassy seeks to connect American air quality experts with local stakeholders so as to share insights and best practices in the campaign to reduce air pollution in North India. The workshops will be held in New Delhi and three to four other North Indian cities, and will engage communities and help Indian stakeholders to develop recommendations on how to improve the air quality situation in North India. These workshops should include participation by local policymakers, advocates, experts, and community members. The ideal program would also involve outreach to the local business community so that it can understand how the air pollution problem affects their interests. (Please refer full announcement).
