Call to urgently develop the Green Pillar of the European Health Union for a Healthy Recovery from the Pandemic
Dear President von der Leyen,
We, representatives of the undersigned organisations, are writing to you to express our grave concerns regarding the lack of coherence between the European Health Union proposals and the European Green Deal’s zero pollution ambition, especially in the area of transport. We urgently call on you to make the two initiatives truly linked and coherent by including the relevant European Green Deal initiatives under the coverage of the European Health Union as a ‘Green Pillar’ to both meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and ensure a healthy recovery from the pandemic.
