Zero Pollution
A zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment
Pollution harms our health and our environment and is the largest environmental cause of multiple mental and physical diseases and of premature deaths, especially among children, people with certain medical conditions and the elderly. Therefore, the EU's Action Plan: 'Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil' set outs ambitious of reducing the negative health impacts, plastic waste, use of chemical pesticides and much more, as we move towards a Europe without pollution. To support that work, it is essential to include the citizens of Europe.
Specific description of action
SHARED GREEN DEAL's work on Zero Pollution will evolve following research done and conclusions drawn through the experiments covering the six specific priority themes (Clean Energy, Circular Economy, Efficient Renovations, Sustainable Mobility, Sustainable Food, Preserving Biodiversity).
