Essential Environment: Clean air policy 2026
Since the election of the new UK Government, environmental issues have seen significant policy developments, so there are plenty of opportunities to engage.
The IES and IAQM have created this briefing paper as an introductory reference on environmental policy relating to air quality and linked issues, including clean air and emissions.
We hope the paper will help IES and IAQM members to stay up-to-date on relevant policy issues, supporting horizon scanning and identifying opportunities for our expert members to engage with decision makers and the public. We publish updates to this paper on an annual basis.
You may also be interested in our horizon scanning paper on water policy, which will be published shortly, and our briefing on land and nature policy.
