Towards sustainable mobility and improving air quality

22. 03. 2022  |  Mobility

Transport is one of the important factors in the development of modern society and economy. However, it also has its dark side – the increase in individual car traffic, traffic jams, air pollution, increased noise, which ultimately leads to a deterioration in the health and quality of life of residents of cities and municipalities. The Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic and the Slovak Environmental Agency, as in 2021, also in 2022 prepared a series of workshops for representatives of local governments and the professional public focused on the issue of sustainable mobility, presenting examples of good practice in favor of improving air quality.

Thanks to the measures taken in the field of air protection, the air quality in our cities is constantly improving. Air quality improvement programs and strategic planning documents, which are currently being prepared by district offices in the regional seat, also with the help of air quality managers, should also contribute to further positive change. Fresh information on this and other topics was provided at a workshop organized as part of the LIFE IP project - Improving Air Quality, which took place on January 26, 2022, focusing on the Bratislava, Trnava and Trenčín regions. Similar workshops for other regions were organized in 2021.
