Air Quality: Revised UK National Air Pollution Control Programme
The National Air Pollution Control Programme (NAPCP) sets out measures and analysis for how emission reduction commitments can be met across the UK.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is developing and implementing a revised National Air Pollution Control Programme (NAPCP) to meet 2030 air quality targets and emissions ceilings for ammonia and other pollutants. The programme addresses fragmented cross-government coordination, transparency of spending, and risks of traffic displacement from strategic roads to local roads, with significant concerns about whether existing measures will achieve statutory targets. The revised programme is currently in active development following National Audit Office scrutiny.
