Work in Birmingham to address air pollution and the climate crisis has been highlighted in the Government Chief Medical Officer’s annual report.

The report says ‘significant work is underway to create spaces for people that encourage exploration of the city via sustainable methods’ and highlights a range of projects from the city council and partners.

Cllr Liz Clements, Cabinet Member for Transport, said: “We are working across the council and with partners to ensure a healthier environment, including through our clean air zone and by delivering the Birmingham Transport Plan which aims to make it easier and safer to walk and cycle, as well as making public transport greener and more efficient. This in turn supports the city’s Route to Zero Carbon commitment to tackle the climate crisis and deliver sustainable and inclusive economic growth.”
