Attention is often focused on the capital, but air pollution in towns and villages across Sussex can be amongst the worst in the UK, sometimes reaching just one point off the worst possible level.

Much of this pollution comes from the vehicles used by local businesses. The solutions to solving our clean air crisis should benefit business and consumers. They will help protect the health of employees and make Sussex a more desirable place to work and live.

Improving local air quality is vital to ensuring our area is a healthy and vibrant place to live, work, visit and do business in. Our speakers will explain the negative impacts of poor air quality and how it affects our economy. They will also present a case study from one business that has grabbed an economic opportunity to develop a new service that will contribute towards cleaning up our air.

The event is part of the University of Brighton's Green Growth Platform events programme, helping to grow the green economy across Sussex.
