CSE's Clean air and urban mobility team is organizing “Kolkata City Dialogue on Air Quality and Transportation Challenge: An Agenda for Action” in joint collaboration with the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority, Kolkata.
Our objective is to engage with all the relevant stakeholders and the citizens of the city to build public and policy awareness on clean air and urban mobility. This dialogue forum will capture learning from initiatives taken in Kolkata and share experiences from Delhi and other cities to evolve strategies for future policy action.
We will address critical issues of air quality management; public health protection; and the challenges of public transport and congestion. Solutions can emerge only from a deeper understanding of our mutual concerns, the diversity of issues, and, the implementation challenges. Hence, we invite citizens, regulators, policy makers, experts, civil society groups and industry representatives who are involved with city governance, air pollution and transportation policies to share their views and help bring change…
