The Green 10 coalition, which HEAL is a part of, encourages the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola upon her re-election to put the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergency at the forefront of her tenure.
HEAL has sent a letter to EU environment ministers on European Environment Action Programme (8EAP) for adoption at the June Environment Council.
HEAL and its over 80 members call on ministers to step up in taking measures to implement the 8EAP objectives, recognising the urgency to act for health on the multiple crises including those from global heating, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss.. They further urge them to underline the importance of protecting health from the triple crises of climate change, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss with your Heads of State, for prioritisation in the EU strategic agenda.
