Air pollution is the biggest environmental threat to everyone's health across the EU, and one of the leading risk factors for chronic diseases. Today, pathways to reach clean air in cities by 2030 will be discussed by more than 340 participants from 33 countries at an international conference taking place in Brussels.
HEAL is one of the signatories (together with WWF, BirdLife Europe, EEB, CEE Bankwatch, CAN Europe, Transport & Environment and NatureFriends International) of a joint letter to Commission President von der Leyen, European Parliament President Sassoli and European Council President Michel.
The letter recognises the European Union’s efforts on COVID-19 crisis and highlights that an EU response must address the immediate health, social and economic urgency to protect the most vulnerable. The response must also ensure we continue down Europe’s chosen path towards a healthy and sustainable economy, leaving no-one behind and in line with the European Green Deal.
