Environment and Elections News

This series was setup to examine if the environment played a role during the 2019 national elections. We are now conducting introspective analyses about the election results, before examining environment related policy of the new government. The India Climate Collaborative has been supporting this series. However, the ICC does not have editorial input regarding the content of Mongabay-India stories. The story idea, production and publishing was entirely by Mongabay-India.
