Air pollution impacts human health, delicate habitats, and water quality. Addressing air pollution has strong co-benefits with effective climate action, biodiversity protection, and ensuring societal well-being. A robust Clean Air Strategy (CAS) for Ireland is essential to ensuring that the human right to a clean and healthy environment is upheld. It is also vital to ensuring Ireland’s compliance with national, EU and international legal obligations. This document sets out EJNI’s recommendations for revision of Ireland’s Clean Air Strategy, including transboundary considerations, legal issues, agricultural ammonia and cross-border pollution, home heating and cooking, transport, just transition and issues associated with data centres.
