Why we started IEM
We started India Environmental Matters (IEM) as a response to #DraftEIA2020. While we continue to track developments around the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification of India closely, we have diversified. Through this platform, we share our research on matters of pollution control, public engagement in environmental policy making, resource governance and the uneven distribution of risks and benefits of development.
