Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill

The Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill establishes the right to clean air as a fundamental human right under UK law and creates legal mechanisms to enforce this right. It sets binding air quality standards stricter than current EU regulations and empowers individuals to take legal action against the government or polluters when air quality breaches these standards. The bill requires the government to develop and implement enforceable air quality improvement plans with specific targets and timelines, particularly for areas with the worst pollution levels.
