About this Event

Mark the date. Celebrate the decade.

Join us at the Royal Society of Medicine on 13 July 2026 for Breathing Life: A Decade of Local Air Quality Ambition, UK100's landmark anniversary conference. Brought to you in partnership with the Clean Air Fund and UK Power Networks DSO.

Ten years ago, UK100 was founded with a simple but bold idea: that local leaders, working together across party lines, could drive real change on climate and clean air. Today, over 120 cross-party councils, representing more than 60% of the UK population, are living proof that they can.

This July, we come together to celebrate what has been achieved, take stock of what the evidence shows works, and look ahead to the next decade of local clean air leadership.

What to expect:

  • A full day of keynote speeches, panels, and conversation at one of London's most prestigious venues.
  • Insights and evidence from a decade of local clean air ambition — what has worked, where, and why.
  • Cross-party local leaders, government representatives, and sector partners sharing what the next chapter looks like.
  • A networking reception to close the day.

More speakers and sponsors to be announced.

Full programme and registration details coming soon. Save the date: 13 July 2026, 10am–6pm, Royal Society of Medicine, Westminster.
Paid UK100 members and Connect and Clean Air Network participants can access exclusive FREE tickets via an exclusive link or code — if you don't have your code to hand, please contact and a member of the team will ensure you can access the correct tickets.
