Can Delhi’s $2.5 Billion Shift to Electric and Low-Emission Vehicles Transform India’s Capital to a ‘Pollution Free City’? 07/07/2026 Chetan Bhattacharji After years of stonewalling, the city is finally acknowledging the public health risks of air pollution – launching a major initiative to clean up emissions from the capital’s 10 million vehicles, along with stricter curbs on waste, construction and traffic during winter-time pollution peaks. The most radical measures include: banning new fossil fuel–powered 2 & […] Continue reading -> To Improve Healthcare Delivery, WHO Asks Countries to Generate Evidence on Climate Migration & Displacement 07/07/2026 Disha Shetty WHO’s Western Pacific region, the agency’s most populous, is home to nearly two billion people, including some small island nations like Fiji, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands whose very existence is threatened by climate change.
