A Version 1.0 white paper offering a life centered governance model for clean air in Delhi, India and the wider NCR region.
Delhi, India and the wider National Capital Region (NCR) live with a recurring air emergency that harms children, elders and workers every year. This white paper from the Awakened Leadership Movement sets out a governance ready, life centered model that governments, institutions and expert coalitions can use to shape a genuinely breathable future for the Delhi and NCR air shed.
In this white paper you will discover how to:
- Frame breathable air as an operational extension of the right to life through a shared Clean Air Covenant for Delhi and the NCR air shed
- Design an Awakened Air Authority for Delhi NCR (AAA NCR) that aligns ministries, states, regulators and citizens around one clean air outcome
- Build Sectoral Transformation Compacts across transport, construction and dust, industry and energy, agriculture and residue management, waste and local burning, and health and vulnerable populations
- Use an Awakened Air Intelligence Grid to integrate air, emissions, activity and key health data for transparent, evidence based decisions
- Protect the most exposed communities through a Health First Protection System linking alerts, primary care, schools and workplaces
- Create genuine Public Stewardship and Co Governance through citizen air councils, community monitoring, youth engagement and public transparency portals in and around Delhi, India
Who this is for
Policy makers, regulators, urban and environmental planners, public health leaders, air quality and climate experts, think tanks, civic movements and cross border collaborators seeking a concrete, awakened framework for addressing the Delhi and NCR air crisis at its true systemic scale.
