Healthy Air Coalition Publish Policy Blueprint Report

The Healthy Air Coalition has published a new blueprint calling for urgent, coordinated action across government departments to tackle air pollution and secure the right to clean air for all. 

Key recommendations include:

• A comprehensive Clean Air Act
• Legally binding targets aligned with WHO guidelines
• Investment in clean, zero-tailpipe emission transport alongside measures to support active travel
• Action on indoor air quality in homes, schools, and workplaces
• Adequate funding and powers for local authorities 
• A national strategy for air quality that integrates health, environment, and climate objectives, with transparent accountability and reporting mechanisms 

The blueprint emphasises that tackling air pollution requires a comprehensive and integrated approach addressing emissions both outdoors and indoors, while prioritising environmental justice by ensuring cleaner air for vulnerable and marginalised communities disproportionately impacted by pollution. 

CRP continues to support the mission to reduce London’s air pollution and protect the health of Londoners through it’s various initiative and programmes. CRP’s Mayor of London funded Healthy Streets Everyday II programme is achieving this through the delivery of further walking routes, school streets, low emission transport infrastructure, and green infrastructure. 🍃
