The most vulnerable global challenges faced today are of global warming and its effect on climate with deteriorating air quality. Air pollution is increasing and causing global warming, rise in sea level, change in seasonal patterns, rainfall pattern, extreme summer and winter temperatures, droughts and floods, etc. along with various endemic and epidemic diseases. There is a lack of understanding of air pollution and related health risk. The condition of air quality in India is poor. As many as 54% of Indians live in cities not meeting NAAQS standards on fine particulate matter and none of the cities meeting WHO standards. The whole world, including India, is worried about the degradation of air quality which is affecting every form of life and material; hence there is a need for extensive study on the causes, effects and mitigation of air pollution. A scientific model is proposed to control environmental pollution. The ultimate solution of global warming climate change problem is making the people aware about the causes, consequences, and control of energy consumption through environmental consciousness.
