    Consultation description

    The draft Clean Air Strategy for Northern Ireland sets out a clear ambition to improve air quality by 2032 through five strategic objectives; strengthening the evidence base; updating legislation with more ambitious particulate limits; raising public awareness and behavioural change; preventing pollution at source; and delivering action collaboratively across government and partners.

    Why your views matter
    This strategy calls upon everyone to play their part in reducing air pollution in Northern Ireland and make simple changes where possible, including active travel and choosing cleaner ways to heat our homes.

    By taking part in this consultation, you will be informing the strategy and helping to improve air quality in Northern Ireland and beyond.
