- Book Synopsis
- As extreme weather events - the heat wave in Delhi in May 2022 and the unusually heavy rains in September 2022 - become more frequent, fulfilling the predictions of climate change experts, reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases that drive the climate change becomes increasingly urgent. Next to coal-fired power stations and the industrial sector, it is transport that accounts for a major share in these emissions, which makes Clean Transport in India a particularly timely publication. The book not only presents all the relevant statistics but, more important, explains the implications of those numbers and the interconnections between different facets of transport: for example, the greater number of vehicles on roads may seem to favour mobility but in fact makes roads more congested**x2014;and the congestion makes air pollution more severe, thereby aggravating its impact on health.
