Press Invite: CSE to release critique of new environment ministry report

CSE questions recently released environment ministry report on air pollution sources, uncovers serious fallacies in it

The Union ministry of environment and forests has released a new six-city report on air pollution sources, titled ‘Air quality monitoring, emission inventory and source apportionment study for Indian cities’. Centre for Science and Environment’s (CSE) analysis of the report has brought out some extremely unpalatable truths…

About how the report crunches data, uses bad science and makes misleading pronouncements – especially about Delhi and its air. How the auto industry and oil companies are using it to thwart all efforts to slap stricter emissions standards and higher taxes on diesel cars. And how errant studies such as this one are being touted as roadmaps for the future.

CSE invites you to a press conference where it will release its analysis.

Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Time: 2.00 pm

Venue:
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) office,
India Habitat Centre, Core
6-A, Fourth Floor,
Lodi Road,
New Delhi

Phones: 2464 5334, 2464 5335, 9910864339

Lives transformed: Tales of climate change, its impacts and how populations are coping

Deadline for submission extended: May 30, 2012

Climate change is for real – the world is loudly proclaiming it to be so, and nations are jousting amongst themselves on ways to control it. Monsoon cycles are reportedly going haywire, and extreme weather events -- cloud bursts, cyclones, floods -- are apparently becoming more intense and frequent the world over.

India must be witnessing these impacts as well – in its remotest villages, along its sea-swept coastlines and in its cities filled with teeming millions. But there really is very limited reliable information on how and where these impacts are being felt the most, what these impacts are doing to lives, livelihoods and the environment, and what are people and communities doing to live with them. There are stories out there which nobody is reporting on.
