  Air Quality and Climate change are similar but different. We are already making good progress towards improving our local air quality. However climate change is more of a challenge. If you think about electric vehicles, they are fantastic for air quality – no engine emissions! However, there are still carbon emissions associated with the production of the electricity and manufacture of the batteries. (overall they are still better than petrol though!). A key area will be stopping people burning in their homes – wood-fired burners produce a lot of particulate matter.
