Poland Czyste Powietrze program challenges

Overview

The Czyste Powietrze (Clean Air) subsidy program in Poland is experiencing a crisis involving fraud and declining public participation. Regulatory loopholes have allowed for the misappropriation of subsidies by contractors, affecting thousands of beneficiaries.

Following a four-month suspension of the subsidy system between late 2024 and early 2025, the program has seen a drop in weekly applications and a decline in public trust. In response to these challenges, the government is developing new legislation intended to shift legal responsibility from defrauded beneficiaries to dishonest contractors.
