Join us for a webinar with Rossella Cannarella M.D., Ph.D. and Professor Aldo E. Calogero, to discuss how pesticides can affect fertility. The event will also explore key concerns around the Food and Feed Safety Simplification omnibus proposal.
The next years will see significant action for clean air, with EU member states having to implement key requirements of the revised Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD) and the National Emission Reduction Commitments (NEC) Directive. The next EU multiannual financial framework – EU MFF – will be key to help deliver on clean air for health, as major investments for implementation are needed.
Under the current EU budget 2021-2027 about 10% of the total amount – €185.5 billion – have been allocated to clean air objectives. However, a double implementation and investment gap persists, because of a lack of fully implementing existing clean air legislation resulting in significant, preventable health costs.
Read the new HEAL policy briefing Adequate funding for clean air for health in the EU budget 2028-2034 how the next long-term EU budget can help fulfill clean air objectives and make a difference for people’s health.
HEAL recommends to:
- Provide dedicated, predictable clean air financing
- Swiftly phase out fossil fuel subsidies
- Tie EU funding to the fulfilment of clean air objectives and involve health groups
