Mayor's Air Quality Manifesto

The Mayor launched the air quality manifesto in a key-note speech in July 2014. He set out how City Hall’s actions alone, including the world’s first Ultra Low Emission Zone, will take London two thirds of the way to compliance with EU NO2 limits by 2020.

Already vast improvements have been made. The oldest and most polluting vehicles have been taken off the streets, standards for engines and buildings have been tightened and the world’s largest bus retrofit programme has created the cleanest fleet in the world. Since the Mayor was elected, half as many Londoners live in areas exceeding legal limits, emissions of harmful particulates are down by 15 per cent, and nitrogen oxide emissions are down by 20 per cent.
