India's air pollution is a deadly threat. Will its politics meet the challenge?

Exposure to the world's worst air pollution kills over a million Indians each year. It also affects children's growth and threatens the economy and health of the next generation. No family can save itself from the collective danger of pollution. That is the task of governments which instead have enacted showy ineffective policies while neglecting to even measure the problem. With a smart package of policies India could have healthier air. In fact some strategies could bring down air pollution today while also reducing the country's deep vulnerability to future climate change. But to do so would demand an honest reckoning with both challenges: particles in the air and rising temperatures. India's children need a serious commitment to change -- not empty reassurance. The environment and economic progress are often portrayed to be at odds but the compelling stories and hard facts in this important book challenge that outdated narrow debate. It is time to clear the air.
