Our work
Environmental Protection UK is a charity working to improve local environmental conditions by promoting scientific understanding, public debate and innovations in policy. We work with local authorities, business, academia and the public to promote effective enforcement, to raise awareness and to ensure that environmental policy focuses on joined up solutions.
Environmental Protection UK is active and influential in the fields of:
Air Quality and Climate Change
Poor air quality poses a significant threat to human health. Across Europe, air pollution is estimated to reduce average life expectancy by eight months.
Our Air Quality and Climate Change work is aimed at promoting integrated policies and practices that reduce the negative effects on health and the environment of both air pollution and greenhouse gases.
