Integrating Action on Air Quality & Climate Change: A Guide for Local Authorities been produced by the Institution of Environmental Sciences’ Environmental Policy Implementation Community (EPIC). It is intended to support local authorities and others to take more effective action on transport and the built environment, and deliver larger benefits and fewer unintended consequences for the climate, air quality and health.
It includes information on:
· The importance of integrating air quality and climate change policy
· How local authorities can develop an integrated approach
· 23 measures that local authorities can take on transport, built environment, waste and procurement, including specific actions, support mechanisms and case studies
The guidance has been compiled by expert EPIC members, many of whom play a leading role in formulating and implementing air quality and climate change policy locally. It has been reviewed by numerous external experts from local government, academia, industry and NGOs, and is also published on Defra’s Air Quality Hub.
