Air pollution is what you'd call a wicked problem. The Gujarat ETS has been such a rewarding experience of a research-policy partnership that created real change. And so nice to be recognised as a finalist by Earthshot @warwickecon
Industrial growth drives jobs and prosperity, but often at the cost of clean air. In Gujarat, India, a pioneering ‘cap and trade’ emissions scheme is changing that. In Surat, it’s already cut harmful air pollution by ~30%, with expansion now underway in Ahmedabad and beyond.
