Towards Cleaner Air: Key measures to effectively reduce air pollution – 18 February 2025 – Brussels
EEB is pleased to invite you to join this event to hear about how air pollution can effectively be reduced, securing compliance with the newly agreed air quality standards by 2030. The study, commissioned to Ricardo by the EEB, is looking at the potential of 10 air quality measures to reduce emissions of key pollutants in the EU (and specifically in 6 EU Member States), and at how this translates into reduced air pollution concentrations. Health, environment and climate co-benefits are also considered.
