UN Commends India's 'Green Patch' Corridor Initiative for Urban Pollution Control
The United Nations Environment Programme has lauded India's eco‑friendly 'Green Patch' corridors, implemented by major municipalities to curb pollution and maintain environmental balance.
The United Nations Environment Programme has praised India's 'Green Patch' corridor initiative, a key component of the country's 'green city' urban development plan. The initiative aims to curb pollution in urban areas and maintain ecological balance.
The Green Patch corridors are eco‑friendly green belts that connect parks, wetlands and green spaces across major municipalities. They serve as natural filters for air and water, provide habitat for wildlife, and offer recreational spaces for residents.
By integrating these corridors into city planning, municipalities have seen measurable reductions in air pollution and improved urban microclimates. The UN's commendation highlights the initiative as a successful model that can be replicated globally.
