A Breath of Change : Solutions for Cleaner Air in the Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayan Foothills
Air pollution across the Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayan Foothills is one of the most pressing health and development challenges in South Asia. Nearly one billion people are exposed to hazardous air every day, leading to around one million premature deaths annually and shortening average life expectancy by more than three years. The economic cost is immense, with an estimated ten percent of regional GDP lost to reduced productivity, illness, and related damages.
