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.
HEAL responded to the public consultation by the European Commission on the mid-term review of the 8th Environment Action Programme (8 EAP).
The 8 EAP sets out the framework for EU environmental policy until 2030. During the remaining time of the 8 EAP, HEAL urges the EU Member States to deliver on the 8 EAP objectives, while ending fossil fuels subsidies, tackling environmental and social inequalities, and reducing the health harm from harmful chemicals.
