Conference

Pathways for clean air in the EU’s urban environments.

Poor air quality is a major and persistent challenge in urban environments, impacting the health and quality of life of residents, irrespective of where they live. In the overwhelming majority of cities in the EU, air quality is worse than what the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends.
The time to act is now. On the eve of the 2024 EU elections, this conference gathering decision makers and stakeholders from all over Europe aims to identify pathways to reach good air quality for everyone, everywhere in cities.

This conference is organized by HEAL and Mutualités Libres and under the auspices of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
