Adding air pollution to your trust's risk register?

Has anyone successfully added air pollution (outdoor, indoor, or both) to their trust's risk register. I've started looking into doing this after attending a trust board meeting where I learnt that the effects of climate change are on the trust's risk register, which triggers board-level attention to reduce and mitigate the risk. The risk from air pollution is so tangible and health-related, with so many immediate actions that could be taken to reduce it (eg no idling on car park, plug in points for ambulances so they don't have to idle whilst queueing up outside ED, getting the trust's cooking/heating off gas) that I am really keen to get it on there. If anyone has done it before, any top tips on wording/ what to include? Or would you be willing to share your template? Thank you in advance!
