Context:

India must prioritize learning from G20 nations on improving AQI, just like it does in the case of financial stability and growth.

India needs to act differently:

  • India’s shining growth: IMF expects India’s GDP growth to be 6.1% in 2023. Also, inflation seems to be within the tolerance level of RBI and surely better than in the US, EU, and UK.
  • Need to work on Pollution: Air Quality Life Index Report (2022) by the University of Chicago claims that Delhiites are losing their life expectancy by 10 years.
  • Slogans may not be enough: Slogans on “LiFE” isn’t enough. India needs to make hard policy decisions, with strict implementation, which sometimes may not be politically appealing.
