The newly released European State of the Climate 2024 annual report (ESOTC), co-published by the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation program and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), confirms what public health experts have long warned about: the health costs of climate change in Europe are rising fast, and so is the human toll.
Our latest webinar Endocrine disruptors and women’s health focused on the threat that endocrine disrupting chemicals pose to women’s reproductive health. A recording of the webinar is now available.
Moderated by Julianna Angelova, HEAL’s EU Research Project Coordinator, the session on 20 November featured FREIA researchers, Majorie van Duursen and Virissa Lenters. They shared recent FREIA project findings on EDCs and female reproductive toxicity and EU citizens’ attitudes towards endocrine disruptors and ways to reduce exposure. The research findings were accompanied by actionable recommendations to increase public awareness, reduce exposure to chemicals/EDCs, and improve health.
Featured speakers
- Prof. Dr. Majorie van Duursen, Professor of Environmental Health and Toxicology, VU Amsterdam and FREIA project coordinator
