HEAL calls on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to commit to protecting people’s health from the triple crisis during her second term in a letter. HEAL urges her to safeguard and strengthen the EU climate and environmental acquis for better health, and accelerate on the zero pollution path, including for the foreseen reform of the EU chemicals law REACH.
HEAL is delighted to have teamed up with the EU funded ENBEL research project and the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) to spotlight climate change and health on 18 May, as part of the European Public Health Week.
Please join us on 18 May 2022 from 9-10 am CEST for a virtual exchange to kick-off the day, to hear more about the latest science on the health impacts of climate change, ongoing EU policy developments where greater climate ambition is needed, and how the health sector can be involved. We’ll also be hearing about strategies and tools on how urban planning is taking climate change into consideration.
Last but not least, participants will receive a sneak preview of a range of informative videos on climate change and health produced for the day, as part of the ENBEL project.
