India has moved beyond diagnosing air pollution to strengthening its management ecosystem through the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). While monitoring and planning have expanded, the primary challenge is now ensuring consistent, large-scale implementation of known technical solutions.

Effective air quality outcomes require coordination well beyond the environmental sector. Improving air quality depends on integrating clean air objectives into transport, industry, urban planning, and energy systems. This shift requires focusing on "policy levers" - the governance, financing, and regulatory frameworks that create the enabling conditions for sustained action. The Clean Air Convening brings together diverse stakeholders to identify the systemic reforms needed to accelerate this transition.

Participants will engage in structured breakout group discussion, to advance practical implementation and drive long-term air quality improvements across India.

• Finance and Policy Levers: Identify two high-impact finance and two policy levers to unlock effective implementation.
• Data and Agency Support: Define three actionable ways to empower government and implementing agencies to utilise data effectively.
• NCAP Accountability: Explore practical methods to improve the tracking, evaluation, and delivery of NCAP commitments.
• Public Facing Work on Air Pollution: To define strategies for moving beyond technical and fragmented air quality reporting
