HEAL has given input to a consultation assessing the EU NEC Directive, a key instrument in the EU clean air framework, which requires member states to cut emissions of five key air pollutants. In our response, we urge for a stepping up of EU member states implementing the law, for greater coherence in the EU's policy framework, and for strengthening health prevention efforts. Now is the time to set the EU on the path for ambitions emission reductions after 2030.
The Green 10 coalition, which HEAL is a part of, encourages the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, upon her re-election, to prioritize and scale up the Green Deal commitments towards zero pollution, thriving nature and health.
