Clean Air Strategy

Poor air quality in Birmingham is contributing to hundreds of early, preventable deaths and making many existing health conditions worse. Poor air quality disproportionately affects the poorest and most vulnerable in our communities, including children.

Furthermore, we have to recognise that many air pollutants have no known safe limits and although our efforts to date have rightly focused on the city centre we must ensure that all neighbourhoods of our city benefit from future interventions to improve air quality.

Our proposed Clean Air Strategy sets out a series of high-level pledges as to how we and others in the city can support the journey towards cleaner air.
