While official forecasts have suggested potential weather shifts that could help disperse pollutants, scientists caution that air quality may remain poor in the coming days without sustained reductions in emissions.

Despite short-term improvements when winds disperse pollutants, Pakistan’s larger “smog season,” which typically lasts from October through February, has become a recurring annual crisis with economic and social costs that reverberate beyond public health into education, productivity and infrastructure planning.

The approval comes with an attractive package of incentives designed to catalyse both investment and environmental impact.

Through ‘Christmas for Good(oo!)’, both organisations hope to inspire pet parents across India to join them in making this holiday season brighter for every dog - whether at home or in a shelter.

The government’s aggressive renewable energy agenda has been instrumental, with a suite of policies designed to hit 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.

Public health advisories issued on days like these typically urge people to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary, reduce outdoor activities, keep windows closed, and use air purifiers where possible.
