NOTAS: | This publication is a Science for Policy report by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Commission’s science and knowledge service. "With the deployment of the zero pollution action plan, the European Commission acknowledges the importance and urgency of the public health, environmental, moral and socioeconomic case for the European Union to lead the global fight against pollution. The zero pollution outlook presents modelling and foresight results that provide a perspective on whether we are on track in terms of the objectives of the EU zero pollution ambitions and the associated EU legislation. It offers scientific advice to inform decision-makers regarding the actions needed to successfully implement the European Commission’s zero pollution action plan. The Outlook demonstrates that we collectively need to make stronger efforts to reach the ambitious targets." |
