Air pollution is a problem the world over, with 99% of people breathing air that exceed World Health Organization's safety guidelines.  Air pollution causes a slew of negative health impacts for those affected by it, and claims the lives of 7 million people every year. It also accelerates and is worsened by climate change, with the effects most acute for the 70% of the global population who live in cities. Tackling air pollution is an imperative that can be accomplished by ensuring cross-sectoral accountability for planetary and human health. The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of more than six million people — that figure is shocking and a tragedy. But perhaps more shocking, though, is that people worldwide have been victims of another silent killer for years — one that now kills more people every year than COVID has in two: air pollution. Estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO) reveal that 7 million people lose their lives every year as a result of ai...

OVERPOPULATION IN INDIA According to recent studies, India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation by as early as 2024. In a country where 25 percent of the population is already living on less than $2 a day, many fear the growing population will only make the poverty situation worse. Although rapid population growth does not necessarily cause poverty, there is a clear connection between high fertility rates and poverty. In developing countries with high fertility rates, life expectancy and per capita income (two important indicators of well being) typically remain low. The good news is that fertility rates in India have dropped significantly as of late, down to 2.2 births per woman.
