Background

What is the Clean Air Agreement?

The Clean Air Agreement is a partnership between the national government, provinces and municipalities to improve air quality in the Netherlands on a lasting basis.

It started in 2020 with the goal of at least 50% health gain by 2030 compared with 2016, by reducing health damage from domestic sources of air pollution.

The agreements cover traffic, industry, agriculture, wood burning and mobile machinery, among other areas. Municipalities play a key role: local measures, monitoring progress and a healthier living environment.

For municipalities

What does the agreement mean for your municipality?

Participation means actively working toward cleaner air. Targeted choices need insight into where pollution concentrates and how the situation develops.

Gain insight into local air quality and possible hotspots
Include measures in municipal air quality policy
Monitor implementation and progress of measures
Collaborate with other authorities and knowledge partners
Report on progress against agreed commitments

Your situation

Has your municipality already joined?

My municipality has joined

The challenge is turning ambitions into measures and making progress visible. Which neighbourhoods need attention? How do concentrations develop? Reliable local data helps you act and evaluate with more focus.

My municipality has not joined yet

Participation is voluntary. You can join later. Even without the agreement you can start mapping local air quality as a basis for future policy. The official participant overview is on schoneluchtakkoord.nl.

Air Quality Monitor

Why municipalities choose Caeli

Air quality policy needs reliable data. The Air Quality Monitor makes local monitoring accessible, efficient and clear.

Reporting within 48 hours
No lengthy research or time-consuming analysis of scattered data sources. You receive a clear report quickly.
Insight down to neighbourhood level
100 by 100 metre maps show local NO₂ concentrations, including where no ground station exists.
No own monitoring stations needed
Satellite data, weather, traffic and official measurements, sharpened with AI.
Historical data from 2019
Follow multi-year trends, compare neighbourhoods and support evaluations.
Scientifically validated AI model
In the Netherlands, Argus-AQM estimates differ by 2.3 µg/m³ on average from official measurements and explain 86% of the variation.

Application

From air quality data to effective Clean Air Agreement policy

With the Air Quality Monitor you turn complex data into usable insight for your municipality.

1.Identify attention areas
See which neighbourhoods have relatively high NO₂ concentrations and where extra focus may help.
2.Set policy priorities
Support measures and proposals for decision-makers with local figures.
3.Monitor developments
Track how air quality has developed since 2019 and use that for evaluation.

The Air Quality Monitor complements official monitoring under the Clean Air Agreement and does not replace legally required measurements or reporting.
