Purpose: In the context of the climate crisis, one of the most pressing challenges the international community faces consists in actions aimed at reducing air pollutant emissions in the world. The objective of the study was to determine the role of voivodeship funds in disbursing funding for air protection in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The study used statistical methods and the desk research method, which involves analyzing and processing data from existing sources. The analyzed data concerned the number of applications and signed contracts, the value of signed contracts and transferred funds under programs implemented by voivodeship environmental protection funds and water management. The study pertained to the 2018-2020 period. As for the Clean Air Programme, the study surveyed 2018-2021. Findings: The study confirmed a significant role the voivodship funds perform in the disbursement of funding on air protection initiatives. Since 2018, voivodeship funds for environmental protection and water management have been increasingly performing the distributive function. By executing own actions concerning air protection between 2018-2020, they faced fewer challenges than the one posed by the joint delivery of such an extensive programme as the Clean Air Programme with the National Fund. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study is the inclusion of data on the programmes implemented only by 12 voivodship funds. Therefore, future studies should be extended to include data from all funds and cover further periods of implementation of air quality programmes by these institutions. However, with regard to the evaluation of factors influencing environmental efficiency, future studies may take into account other variables in the analysis of correlations, both in terms of environmental effects and socio-economic variables. Originality/value: The present study contributes to broadening the knowledge of aspects related to the operation of the voivodship funds, and their role in and responsibility for the implementation of air protection programmes. In addition, the study contributed to the expansion of empirical research with the analysis of environmental effects of the Clean Air Programme.
