  • A new UN assessment says every $1 invested in clean air and climate action could generate $15 in economic benefits.
  • The gains include better health, lower healthcare costs and higher worker productivity.
  • In India, 108 of 130 cities recorded lower annual PM10 levels in 2025-26 compared with the 2017-18 baseline.
  • Despite progress, only 14 of the 130 cities met India’s prescribed PM10 air-quality standard, highlighting the need for faster action.
