In 2025, HEAL welcomed several new organisations into its international network of over 70 members committed to advancing health through environmental action. These new members bring valuable expertise in public health, environmental justice, and sustainable policy, further strengthening the capacity of the alliance to help face the challenges from biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change. Learn more about their missions and work below.
In a few months Austria will be taking over the presidency of the Council of the European Union. In an open letter sent to Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, HEAL encourages Austria to show leadership to advance on a safe environment that benefits people’s health and an adequate allocation of resources to climate and environment measures.
The letter can be found online here.
