A new report finds that just 3% of questions raised in India's Parliament over ten years addressed climate issues. The study also found the government repeatedly took a cautious stance on linking environmental damage, particularly air pollution, to rising death rates or specific illnesses. Critics say the figures point to limited parliamentary scrutiny of climate and public health risks.

Why now: A report quantifying Parliament's limited attention to climate is drawing attention amid growing concern over air pollution and climate policy in India.
