What can we learn from covid-19 on how we tackle air pollution as an ongoing health emergency? Read Prof Srinath Reddy @thePHFI and my article in the recently released @ccapc_org policy brief series.
ICYMI @UrbanEmissions and @nishadhka also did a deep dive on the improvements in AQ levels during the lockdowns across Indian cities, and reflect on the lessons for managing #AirPollution in our last brief. https://t.co/p6bzM6b5h5 Do check it out! n/n
