Background: Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state, faces critical pollution levels, necessitating urgent action. The National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) targets a 40% reduction in particulate pollution by 2026. This study assesses the impact of NCAP on 15 non-attainment cities in Uttar Pradesh using the Prophet forecasting model. Methods: Monthly data on AQI and PM10 concentrations from 2016 to 2023 were sourced from the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board. Significant changes in mean AQI and PM10 levels from 2017 to 2023 were evaluated using the Friedman test.

This research conducted semi-structured interviews to investigate how secondary school students in England make sense of different creative uses of metaphor and metonymy in a sample of slogans shared on social media for the Global Climate Strikes and #FridaysForFuture. The findings suggest that different creative uses prompted different kinds of thinking about climate change and its relevance to students’ personal lives.
