EEA Signals 2023 — Health and environment in Europe | Publications

Several EEA assessments make the link between environment and well-being very clear. Despite progress over the past decades, pollution and other environmental risks continue to harm people’s health in Europe while improving the state of our environment and mitigating climate change can deliver both direct and indirect benefits for everyone in Europe.

EEA Signals 2023 gives a broad overview of links between health and environment in Europe. It includes articles covering air quality, noise pollution, water, climate change and chemicals, as well as expert interviews on making chemicals safer and the European environment and health Atlas.

Both in the case of ecosystem health and people's health, it is far cheaper and much more effective to prevent damage than to repair it. It is simply a good investment for the future.
