OPINIONS: Environmental data transparency and Star Rating systems will improve air quality

Описание: EPIC’s Director Michael Greenstone and South Asia Director Anant Sudarshan in an opinion piece in Times of India argue in favor of better enforcement of the regulations to solve India's air pollution problem. They share their insights about how democratizing and releasing data on the sources of pollution provides a real opportunity to move beyond the typical regime of top-down regulation.
The opinion piece also talks about the data transparency initiative - Star Rating Programs in Maharashtra, Odisha and Jharkhand. In all these three states, Greenstone and Sudarshan along with other researchers are helping the State Pollution Control Boards to implement the program.
