The Green 10 coalition, which HEAL is a part of, encourages the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola upon her re-election to put the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergency at the forefront of her tenure.
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. First, by anchoring health protection as well as EU climate, environmental action at the Executive Vice-Presidency level, and second, by adopting a disease preventative approach in all the upcoming legislative, budgetary and financial initiatives, including the Clean Industrial Deal, the Vision for Agriculture and Food, the Climate Adaptation Plan. 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.
