Due to its high population density, with 21,000 people per km2, air pollution is a high common environmental issue, but water pollution is also a major concern. Many of Mumbai’s residents live in poverty (60% living in slums), which makes them unaware of the impact of pollution and its causes. Indeed, people living in precarious situation are usually unaware of climate change and its causes, therefore how it is being created.
