Centre for Air Pollution Solutions

Our group uses state-of-the-art chemical transport models to quantify the movement of PM2.5 across Indian states, supporting the case for coordinated, multi-state air quality management. We also develop policy-relevant air quality model-based dashboards for the impact assessment of mitigation measures and sectoral interventions. We have provided scientific inputs to three policy briefs, with two more currently in progress. Among our key publications are ‘The Case for Action on Black Carbon’, which was also presented at COP28 in Dubai, and ‘Tackling Black Carbon: How to Unlock Fast Climate and Clean Air Benefits’, which outlines effective policy options for black carbon mitigation.
