Joint letter: A health call for ambitious EU climate action
EuroHealthNet has joined 13 other organisations, sending a joint letter to Presidents and Heads of States, ahead of the next European Council on 22-23 October 2025, where the EU’s climate ambition beyond 2030 will be considered. The joint letter calls for an ambitious EU climate action to prevent disease, strengthen preparedness, and reduce health cost.
The health sector organisations, representing healthcare and medical professionals, patients and public health experts from across the EU, urge the EU leaders to place people’s health at the centre of agreements on the EU’s climate mitigation ambition beyond 2030.
Your leadership on the EU’s climate ambition for 2040 will directly shape health outcomes for decades. Ambitious climate mitigation measures are also needed to support effective climate adaptation and
preparedness.
