Ministers and Councillors

Minister for Transport and the Islands“LEZs present a critical opportunity for this country, for local authorities, fleet operators and for the travelling public…bus has to be part of the solution but LEZs should also address emissions from cars and other vehicles.”
GCC Convenor Transport and Environment “Our Executive paper is the start of a conversation around LEZs…and the timescales are up for debate.”

LEVEL OF IMPACT ON AIR
POLLUTION:
POTENTIAL TO DELIVER AN
OUTCOME
TOOLS AVAILABLE TO IMPACT
ON AIR POLLUTION
High Air pollution could be tangibly reduced by the decisions made by these professions; either by singular decisions or collective decisions with other professions
Numerous tools exist for this profession in relation to air pollution mitigation. On their own, application of a tool (or power) may result in significant impact.
Medium Air pollution could be tangibly reduced by the interaction of these professions with other professions (more likely ranked in the HIGH bracket)
Several tools exist for this profession in relation to air pollutionmitigation. Typically, single tools may not yield a significant impact but combined could cause impact
Low Air pollution is unlikely to be tangibly reduced by the decisions made by these professions, but influence the decision making of other professions (in the MEDIUM and HIGH brackets)
Typically, a single tool exists for this profession in relation to air pollution mitigation. The tool may not yield a significant impact, but could support knowledge transfer, education or communication
