TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ There is political will to implement bold steps to tackle pollution in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said at ”Daring Cities 2020” conference on Wednesday, asserting the odd-even scheme by his government brought down pollution in India’s national capital by about 15 per cent.
He said the Delhi government has in the past five years taken several measures to tackle the twin problems of climate change and air pollution. The conference was organised by City of Bonn and ICLEI, with the support of the German government.
Mr Kejriwal was one of the five urban leaders around the world to speak at the conference, a global, action-oriented forum to recognise courageous urban leaders taking bold climate action across the world.
Mr Kejriwal was invited alongside urban leaders and decision-makers from Bogota (Colombia), Sao Paolo (Brazil), Los Angles (USA), and Entebbe (Uganda) to discuss multilevel action to tackle the climate emergency and environmental sustainability.
