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.
Ahead of this week’s REACH committee meeting, seven environment and health NGOs call for stricter proposals on textiles, phthalates and nanomaterials.
The letter was sent to all members of the REACH Committee by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), on behalf of the Center for International and Environmental Law (CIEL), ClientEarth, EcoCity, Ecologistas en Acción, the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), and Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF).
