HEAL has sent a letter to permanent representations of EU member states and EU environment ministers today, calling on their support and leadership to ensure that previous commitments made for a high level of health and environment protection will remain at the heart of the 2024-2029 EU Commission mandate, including delivering on the health protective measures promised in the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) and the revision of REACH with no further delay.
On the occasion of the 4th Forum of Mayors on Just Transition which will focus on the Social Policy Dialogue on the Transition to Net Zero, HEAL has written an open letter to mayors involved in Just Transition and Recovery deliberations introducing a new tool to assess health protection in just transition plans.
HEAL believes that the health perspective has to be at the center of all Just Transition deliberations and decisions, in order to shift the economy and our ways of life towards a climate-neutral and health promoting future, while leaving no one behind. Just Transition financing must provide targeted support to the most affected regions to alleviate the socio-economic impact of the transition and bring significant health benefits to the local population.
