Reviewing the UK's Clean Air Strategy

Following the UK Government's recent announcement on the Clean Air Strategy, Westminster Insight's half day conference, 'Reviewing the UK's Clean Air Strategy', provides a timely reminder of the review and its findings. With the debate around climate change so prominent, it is clear that urgent action is required. As well as causing damage to our natural environment, the effects to public health mustn't be ignored.

Featuring leading figures from the world of public health and the environment industry, you will explore the policy in greater depth and examine practical strategies of achieving government targets. Senior executives will offer valuable insight from major organisations such as the Environment Agency and the British Heart Foundation, providing you with a greater understanding of the review and consultation, the wider policy initiatives, and current best practice case studies.
