The heart of Cork city centre has been declared the first Irish city to be a Clean Air Zone (CAZ). Cork City Council is to be commended for bringing Ireland’s first Local Authority Air Quality Strategy 2021 – 2026 to life.

This exemplar for air quality monitoring and evaluation works on two fronts – it supports citizens and businesses to understand air pollution and help mitigate its impacts, but critically it also strengthens Cork's place as a sustainable and international city of repute.
