Improving air quality in cities through transport-focused low- and zero-emission zones: legal pathways and opportunities for India

The authors partnered with an environmental law expert to identify relevant provisions in Indian law to build the legal pathways, and each of the five primary pathways presented can be applied as a mandate.
