| Description | A new mid-term review of the EU’s Zero Pollution Action Plan has concluded that faster implementation and enforcement of environmental legislation are essential if the European Union is to achieve its pollution reduction targets by 2030.
The report highlights that pollution remains one of the most significant threats to public health, ecosystems and economic prosperity across Europe. While important progress has been made in reducing air pollution, pesticide use and marine plastic litter, challenges persist in areas such as water quality, waste generation, microplastics and noise pollution.
The findings underline that pollution prevention is not only an environmental objective but also a major public health and economic priority, delivering benefits ranging from improved quality of life and lower healthcare costs to enhanced productivity and competitiveness.
