A workshop to brainstorm and shape India’s National Adaptation Plan on Air Pollution and Health- 2.0 (2027-2031) on 17 August 2026was organised by the Centre for Climate Change and Human Health at National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)- with technical support from Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in its conceptualization - was organised today at the Central Seminar Room, NCDC.

The proposed Adaptation Plan would consolidate what has already been initiated under NPCCHH and will reposition the document as a five-year public health strategy that better links air pollution with India’s health burden, SDG commitments, health system needs, and broader development trajectory.

Participants including UN agencies, Clinicians, Academic Institutes, People with lived experiences, Development partners and Think Tanks deliberated on the vision, scope, objectives and interventions that the NAP could include.

Recent flash floods in Assam's Lakhimpur district following the rise of the Sesa River have inundated villages and damaged critical infrastructure. Citizens in flood-affected areas are advised to:

🚨 Flood Health Advisory
Heavy rainfall and flooding can increase the risk of water-borne diseases, injuries, and contamination of drinking water.
✅ Drink safe/boiled water
✅ Wash hands with soap regularly
✅ Avoid contact with flood water whenever possible
✅ Keep food covered and consume freshly cooked meals
✅ Seek medical care immediately in case of fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, or skin infections
📘 Public Health Guidelines for Flood Events by NPCCHH-NCDC provide important health and safety measures before, during, and after floods.

At the Multi-Stakeholder Consultation organized by NPCCHH, NCDC, Ms Ruchika Gupta (DDG, Social Statistics Division, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation), shared insights on India’s National Indicator Framework and reporting under target 3.9.
The session highlighted ongoing efforts to examine relevant global indicators for potential adoption/adaptation within India’s National Indicator Framework.
The discussion helped build clarity on the pathway for closer alignment between global SDG indicators and the national framework, particularly for SDG 3.9.1 and SDG 3.9.2.

On 14th July, 2026, the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), National Programme on Climate Change and Human Health (NPCCHH) successfully organized National Stakeholder Consultative Workshop on Expanding the Water Thematic Area under NPCCHH at NCDC, CSR Hall. This vital convening brought together pioneering government, academic, and development institutions working at the forefront of the water and WASH sectors—including CSIR-NEERI, ICMR-NIREH, IISc, IDSP, WASH Institute, WaterAid India, EAII Advisors, TERI, CEEW, UNICEF and WRI India, to align strategies and drive collective public health impact.

The cornerstone of the day’s discussions was the strategic implementation of the Joint Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) between the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) aimed at fostering unified action on water quality monitoring and its direct health outcomes.
Throughout the interactive sessions, participating organizations shared invaluable, practical insights from their respective field operations, highlighting localized challenges and offering robust suggestions for policy integration and SoP implementation.

Looking ahead, the workshop culminated in a powerful, unified commitment from all attending partners to collaborate closely on SoP implementation developing operational framework, reviewing and developing advanced technical documents, impactful IEC materials, comprehensive capacity-building frameworks, and targeted Best practices & research initiatives to safeguard community health against water-borne and climate-induced risks.
