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.
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.
