Breathing Space: Why And How We Must Build Back Better To Achieve Clean Air For All

This briefing by the Clean Air Fund follows a YouGov poll that shows at least two-thirds of citizens in diverse locations around the world – Great Britain, India, Nigeria, Poland and Bulgaria – support stricter regulation to tackle air pollution. The briefing highlights the close connections between COVID-19 and air pollution and calls for governments to tackle them together in recovery plans. It urges governments to put in place a joined-up strategy to tackle air pollution at the heart of the COVID-19 recovery in order to improve health, build resilience to future diseases, boost productivity, reduce health costs and help tackle climate change.
