POLICY PAPER: Zero-Pollution Ambition Prioritising citizens’ health & well-being

  • News

The Environment Working Group is proud to present its 2020 Policy Paper, focusing on how the Commission’s Zero-Pollution Ambition can protect citizens’ health & well-being.

The Environment Working Group is chaired by Tsvetelina Filipova, Lead on Governance and SDGs, Senior Policy Analyst at the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP).

To ensure the health & well-being of all Europe­ans citizens, EU policies need to address the effects of environmental pollution as well as ecosystem destruction on human health. Large-scale environmental challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water and air pollu­tion, as well as soil degradation have wide-ranging, long-term, and irreversible im­pacts on human health.

Live from #EHFG2022!

The #EUBeatingCancerPlan has been a case study for an #EUHealthUnion, in which member states better respond to crises, improve prevention and treatment, and provide aftercare, especially for critical diseases like cancer.

We believe in the importance of elevating the voice of the next generation in tackling the challenges of today & tomorrow. It was a real pleasure to meet students in the EU-HEM programme at @MCI_Innsbruck & the @YoungGasteiners to discuss the future of public health.
