Preparing for the Clean Air Strategy Consultation - A Centre of Environmental Justice Webinar
Events
Public consultation on updating the clean air strategy is open until 20 February.
The Clean Air Strategy was first published in 2023 to establish the priorities and policy framework to deliver air quality improvements. Following the publication of two progress reports, the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment is seeking feedback on the strategy in order to assess the potential for new actions to be included.
The consultation is an excellent opportunity to express your views on how air quality can be improved in Ireland.
The Centre for Environmental Justice is hosting this webinar to assist with the preparation of submissions.
