With rapid urbanization, pollution and unchecked growth, Delhi-NCR is experiencing unprecedented challenges on the ecosystem and human life. Climate Change, Air Pollution and Health Hazard in Delhi NCR offers an interdisciplinary examination of these interconnected challenges, exploring their environmental, social, economic, and public health dimensions.
Bringing together perspectives from climatology, environmental studies, and Anthropocene scholarship, the volume analyses how climate change, environmental degradation affects health, livelihoods, and human-environment relationships, particularly among vulnerable populations. It highlights the impacts of rapid industrialization, urban expansion, unsustainable resource use, and biodiversity loss, while tracing the roles of construction activity, vehicular emissions, stubble burning, and mass consumption in driving ecological decline.
By situating Delhi-NCR's environmental challenges within broader global debates, the book offers critical insights into the causes, consequences, and future implications of ecological imbalance, making it an important resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners concerned with sustainability and environmental justice.
