@HealthandEnv @EuroRespSoc @EFA_Patients @MutLibres @CPME_EUROPA @CancerLeagues @EuropeanLung Concluding his intervention at the Policy Outlook, our Head of Policy also urged EU decision-makers to prioritise clean air action:

“Clean air benefits everyone, regardless of age, income, or postcode. This mandate is your chance to keep clean air ambition high.”

[The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) @EPHA_EU]

At the EUHAC Policy Outlook, EPHA’s Raymond Gemen stressed that #AirPollution does not impact all equally.

It worsens health inequities, with poorer communities breathing worse air. #CleanAir action is vital for the environment but also for health & Europe’s economic resilience

✔️Include diverse perspectives including marginalised voices
✔️Use clear feedback processes
Such steps foster trust & drive equitable global health governance
