We’re advocating for cleaner urban transport in cities across the UK, supported by a strong network of partners.
Clean Cities is a bridge between city dwellers and city leaders, creating the conditions for change to happen.
Despite big reductions in other sectors, carbon emissions from transport have remained stubbornly high in the UK for the past thirty years.
This is partly because of expensive public transport and an increasing number of large cars on the roads. The UK also has record levels of diesel vans, which is threatening the government’s ambitious drive towards electrification and net zero.
In the UK, we’re focussing on city policies that:
Greater Manchester is one of the most polluted places in the UK. We worked with our partners to ensure the Mayor takes action so that our air is no longer our dirty secret.
London has seen a 63 percent increase in cargo bikes used by Londoners and businesses from 2022 to 2023.
