NO FURTHER BOOKINGS WEBINAR CLOSED - Defra's Updated Air Quality Strategy - 18 July 2023

This is an interactive webinar delivered by TEAMS from 13:30-16:30.

Fee = £85.00 plus VAT or 1 credit

Defra have now published their updated Air Quality Strategy which sets out a framework for local authority delivery. In this EMAQ session we will cover what this means for you and your local authority.  Defra have set out their priorities:

1.    Planning reforms helping to deliver on air quality.

2.    Building capacity in local councils through training, guidance and knowledge sharing.

3.    Reducing emissions from industrial sources through improved enforcement of environmental permits.

4.    Reducing pollution from domestic burning through smoke control areas and cleaner fuels.

5.    Raising awareness within local communities of air quality impacts and how to reduce them.

6.    Boosting active travel and public transport to improve air quality.

We will discuss actions being asked from local authorities to help deliver these priorities and provide examples of pragmatic action. We will focus on new requirements and where and how local authorities could address air quality differently.
