Delhi Needs A Blue Sky Accord With Beijing: India And China Must Lead Through Environmental Diplomacy
The 75th anniversary of India–China relations offers a rare diplomatic opening. In a world of strategic rivalry, climate change and air pollution represent a shared threat where national interests converge. Environmental cooperation provides a low-politics entry point for rebuilding trust—through joint work on crop-residue management, high-density air-monitoring networks, and clean-energy transitions.

Cooperation on air quality is therefore an act of Himalayan stewardship, protecting the water security of over a billion people.
