Air pollution is a compelling human story, and yet a most conflicted and unresolved one. While science continues to demystify the problem and provide technical answers, uptake of the solutions remains limited and contested. How can public understanding, opinion and politics contribute to building up the scale and speed of change needed for clean air?    

Anumita Roy Chowdhury is the Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, Centre for Science and Environment, India. She is in charge of research and advocacy on sustainable urbanisation that encompasses clean air, mobility and sustainable habitat. She has helped to drive the Right to Clean Air campaign at the Centre and to build multi-sector clean air action in states while steering action on vehicular pollution.  She has played an active role in several national and global environmental committees, forums and platforms. She has been awarded the prestigious Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award by the California Air Resources Board, California, USA.
