State of India's Environment 2020 in Figures

The COVID-19 outbreak has put 265 million people at risk of starvation. Almost 76 per cent of the world’s informal work-force has been severely affected.

India is lagging behind in meeting nine of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh are some of our best governed states — based on their performance in 10 key sectors.

India’s climate commitments are more ambitious than that of many other countries, including China and the US.

Statistics like these form the content of our annual State of India's Environment 2020 in Figures, a unique compendium of well-researched and closely analysed environmental data from across the country.

On subjects ranging from COVID-19 and pandemics, Development in the states, Migration and Climate Change. To Air Pollution, Forests and Wildlife, Employment, Waste and Housing.

We invite you to an online release of this new publication from Down To Earth, and a discussion on it.

You can access Down To Earth's coverage of the locust crisis here: www.downtoearth.org.in
