Air Quality Law and COVID-19
18 November 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic offers an opportunity to rethink clean air globally - how we define it and how we seek to achieve it in policy and regulatory terms.
Eloise Scotford, member of the Clean Air Community Core team, has written a piece for the Oxford Journal of Environmental Law entitled "Rethinking Clean Air: Air Quality Law and COVID-19".
This note examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has given reasons to rethink air quality law - how it is conceptualised, how it is prioritised, and how it is implemented.
In light of the pandemic, ‘clean’ air is perceived as ever more important and its scope extends to a wide range of places and sources. Thinking about ‘healthy’ air is a chance to rethink how we control air quality.
