Detailed explanation-1: -In 2019, the UK became the first major economy to pass a net-zero emissions law requiring it to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), submitted in 2020, commits to reducing the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by 68% by 2030.
Detailed explanation-2: -The UK government launched its Clean Air Strategy in 2019. The Clean Air Strategy sets out their plans for dealing with sources of air pollution. This includes things like developing new guidance on things that create pollution like tyres, brakes and wood stoves.
Detailed explanation-3: -The UK has set stringent targets to cut emissions by 2020 and 2030. The goal is to reduce the harm to human health from air pollution by half. A robust evidence base, backed by the most up to date science is essential to help us achieve this.
Detailed explanation-4: -The UK monitors air quality nationally through a number of networks of monitoring stations. The network that monitors concentrations of the most well-known pollutants is called the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN), which reports data hourly in near real-time on the UK-AIR website.
