Clearing the Air: Putting Health, Prosperity and Productivity at the Heart of a Decade of Renewal

Our latest essay collection, ‘Clearing the Air’, explores the political importance of clean air for the labour movement and how it can be a framing and outcome for the government’s ambition for a decade of national renewal.

We’re delighted to have brought together a range of diverse voices from across the labour movement and beyond, highlighting the imperative of bold policy and political action. The government’s recent 10 Year Health Plan recognises the important role cleaner air can play as part of its refreshed focus on preventative health over treatment – now it’s time accelerated action at all levels.
