Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal attended the C40 Cities Summit in Copenhagen through a video link and announced formation of a special task force to monitor implementation of 'Clean Air Cities Declaration' signed at the meet.
About:
During the C40 World Mayor’s Summit, a global gathering of local leaders in Copenhagen dedicated to combating climate change, 35 cities pledged to drastically reduce air pollution by 2025.
Signatories will set ambitious pollution reduction targets within two years that meet or exceed national commitments and will implement substantive clean air policies by 2025, publicly reporting their progress on achieving cleaner air going forward.
The C40 Clean Air Cities Declaration declares that clean air is a “human right” and could encourage tree planting while penalising cars drivers, among other initiatives.
C40 research found that if all 94 member cities cleaned their transport, buildings, and industry, it would cut greenhouse gases by 87 percent and avoid nearly 220,000 premature deaths every year.
