HEAL works to create better health through a healthy environment. We do this by advocating for policies to benefit peoples’ health and the environment, raising awareness on environment and health links and publicising opportunities for action through our news channels.
We work and report on a wide-range of environmental issues that are everyday concerns for European citizens ranging from chemicals and pesticides, to air quality and climate change.
