9Juhu Beach, Mumbai, India

Juhu Beach, located in India’s bustling city of Mumbai, struggles under the weight of urban waste and pollution. Despite being a popular local destination, the beach is frequently littered with plastic, food wrappers, and household garbage, especially after monsoon rains. Periodic clean-up drives have improved conditions temporarily, but sustainable waste management remains a challenge.

Main Issue: Overflowing urban waste and poor sanitation infrastructure.
