Step 3: Implement policies and programs

Fund programs and actions

Funding is one of the biggest barriers to getting even the highest-impact clean air solutions implemented. Although air pollution reduction policies can often show impressive results within just a few years, most can take longer to reach full impact. That’s why cities need sustainable strategies to secure and maintain financial support throughout the rollout and long‑term operation of their programs. This section outlines resources that can help cities get to know their clean air funding options, including public and private sources.
