Effects of climate, agriculture, air quality combine to impact public health: Study

A new research study has explored the complex and multiple interactions between climate, air quality and agriculture to widen the understanding of the impact of anthropogenic activities on combined human health.

A new research paper has explored the complex and multiple interactions between climate, air quality and agriculture to widen the understanding of the impact of anthropogenic activities on combined human health. In the study, published in the globally acclaimed ‘One Earth’ journal, scientists proposed an integrated systems lens to characterise collective health risks of environmental changes induced by human actions. This helps to evaluate policies and interventions, and their unintended consequences on the health of citizens.

In collaboration with researchers from Columbia University, University of Washington, Boston University, and the University of Delaware, Ashwini Chhatre, an associate professor of Public Policy in Indian School of Business (ISB), led the research in South Asia
