Tackling Air Pollution Through Global Action Plan

In this Podcast we talk to Ben Hudson from Global Action Plan to discuss pollution and how localities can take action to reduce it.

Global Action Plan are the people behind Clean Air Day, the UK's largest air pollution campaign. They bring people together to inspire each other to go further and exert their voice to ensure policy makers and organisations play their part.

To breathe clean air every day we need to make rapid changes: adopting electric vehicles, avoiding millions of car journeys, slashing industrial and construction emissions and stopping buying products that cause pollution in our homes.

To see change at this scale requires us to work as a movement, with changemakers across the country modelling that change, and exerting pressure on government and major polluters.

Air pollution causes heart and lung disease and results in over 36,000 people in the UK dying each year. Clean air is essential for our health, and the co-benefits of clean air measures are also good for our wellbeing as well as being good for the planet.

We will discuss this with Ben Hudson in this webinar and also what action we can take locally and also what action local authorities should also be taking to ensure clean air for everyone.
