Air quality: Scottish Advisory Group
Overview
The group was established in May 2025 to support the development of evidence based policy and legislation to deliver improved air quality for the benefit of human health and the natural environment.
The group will advise on proposals to develop a long term air quality policy framework to succeed the Cleaner Air for Scotland 2 strategy when it expires at the end of 2026.
