<p>The Secretaries of State for Environment and Health recently attended the Clean
Air Summit, at which a number of representatives of UNICEF were also present. UNICEF’s
representatives used this opportunity to highlight findings of their report and to
discuss its recommendations to reduce the impact of air pollution on the most vulnerable
members of society, including our children. The claims in the UNICEF report are currently
being assessed by the government.</p><p> </p><p>Our Clean Air Strategy is clear that
children are impacted by air pollution more than the general population, and all the
measures set out in the Strategy will reduce emissions of pollution, improving public
health. The Government has committed £3.5bn overall to deliver actions across all
sectors and achieve cleaner air for people of all ages, including children.</p>
