POLISH SMOG ALERT

We began in Krakow (the second largest city of Poland and its cultural capital), where our social, scientific and political campaign resulted in a ban on solid fuel heating (coal and wood). The success of th is first initiative inspired citizens from other towns and cities across Poland to take similar action. Today we encompass most large Polish cities, as well as many smaller towns. Our movement brings together over 50 clean air grassroots organisations... We not only launch important campaigns, but we also help shape their wider impact. The result has been a series of new Polish anti-smog regulations introduced at local and national level. These have been rooted in international best practice, science, data and - most important - what is politically and practically possible.
