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.
On the occasion of COP23, taking place in Bonn 6-17 November in Bonn, Germany, a broad network of organisations are calling on assembling for a climate march. HEAL will participate with a health delegation.
The Paris Agreement is a glimmer of hope. The world now has a common goal to stop the climate crisis. However, the world is still on track for dangerous global warming. Governments are not doing enough to stop the climate crisis.
The alliance is calling on governments and Germany to implement the Paris Agreement, to speed up the energy transition, and to commit to phasing out coal.
Join us on November 4th in Bonn to protest against coal and raise your voice for climate justice.
