The May 2025 vote on the European Parliament’s priorities for the next EU long-term budget (Multiannual Financial Framework 2028-2034) included many important health considerations, including on financing for measures to prevent climate change and biodiversity loss. Unfortunately, MEPs failed to include financing to address pollution and the related health impacts. The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) calls on earmarking at least 10% of the next EU budget for zero pollution objectives across various funding instruments.
The Green 10, a coalition of ten of the largest environmental organisations representing tens of millions of citizens across Europe, call on candidates for the European elections to promote a European Union that puts people and our planet first.
In May 2019, citizens across the EU will go to the polls to elect a new European Parliament, and help determine the new leadership of the European Commission. Ahead of this important election, the Green 10 have identified ten wins for health and environment, which include visions for Europe as a global leader in the fight against climate change, clean air for all, and a toxic-free Europe.
