Panellists:
Amit Bhatt, WRI India
Parthaa Bosu, Environment Defence Fund and
Sumit Sharma, Earth Science and Climate Change, TERI
Moderator:
Mukta Naik, Centre for Policy Research
Abstract:
Vehicular pollution has been a significant contributor to Delhi’s air pollution, accounting for up to a fourth of PM 2.5 emissions. Delhi has the largest vehicular population of any city in India, with over a crore registered vehicles. More than 90% of these are private vehicles, and this number has steadily grown over the years. However, regulatory interventions towards promoting cleaner fuel and phasing out old vehicles, as well as legal measures to cap or decrease the number of vehicles have primarily focused on public transit vehicles. The panel will deliberate on key technical and policy drivers for reduction and management of emissions from the transport sector, including the source composition of air pollution from transport, potential gains from changes in fuel standards and fuel types, and issues related to public transport and modal shares.
Date: February 1, 2018
Time: 04:00 P.M.
