Research drawing on hundreds of studies on air quality, climate change, agriculture, and public health has proposed a ‘systems lens’ or a scientific approach, to link the health risks to the ongoing environmental changes triggered by human practices. The research could aid in the identification of policies and solutions that have many environmental and human health benefits.
Green buildings have emerged as a vital aspect of India's pursuit of sustainability, with numerous green projects sprouting across the nation. Many stakeholders believe that these structures can effectively combat the escalating pollution crisis through sustainable construction methods. An Anarock report highlights that green buildings can curtail energy consumption by 20-30% and water usage by 30-50%, reducing the necessity for artificial lighting and air conditioning, subsequently lowering carbon emissions. Moreover, these structures have a more eco-friendly footprint compared to traditional buildings.
