China turned its air pollution crisis into an opportunity - reducing smog while driving clean tech innovation and global climate leadership. India can do the same. By investing in renewables, advancing clean technologies, and enforcing stronger emissions standards, we too can achieve cleaner air and a thriving green economy. It’s both about health and about positioning India as a global leader in sustainability. I wrote this to explore how India can adapt these lessons: https://lnkd.in/gkdMUeaS What’s your take on India’s clean air and climate journey?
