Why Bethan works for Clean Air Fund

Clean air sits at the intersection of two things that have consistently driven my career: environmental and public health, and evidence-led action. What draws me to the Clean Air Fund is its commitment to combining robust evidence with equity, ensuring that action to tackle air pollution delivers meaningful benefits across society.
