WM-Net Zero

WM-Net Zero will produce a toolkit that can estimate the health and economic impacts of net zero policies, using air pollution as a determinant of health.

Policymakers and other regional stakeholders will be able to see the likely health impacts of different net-zero policy options versus ‘business as usual’ scenarios. This will help them to design better net zero policies to maximize their co-benefits on air quality and health, and minimize their potential unintended consequences.

The project has been co-designed by the University of Birmingham, University of Surrey, University of York, West Midlands Combined Authority, Sandwell Council, Solihull Council, Birmingham City Council, Dudley Council, Defra, UK100, Clean Air Fund, WSP and CERC.
