Protect our health. Clean air now!

Combining health and environmental aspects, our campaign “Clean air for all” reflects the needs of European citizens on the issue of air pollution that affects their lives daily. Air pollution causes asthma, cancers, and chronic diseases and leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths in Europe every year.

Current EU air quality standards don’t meet the science-based air quality recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO). In 2021 we launched a campaign together with the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) to promote that the Commission’s proposal for improving EU air quality standards should meet the recommendations of WHO.

More than 120,000 Europeans decided to take part in the participatory process by signing our petition “Clean air for all”. In October 2022, after running an impact assessment, the European Commission published its legislative proposal which still is not in line with the World Health Organisation s’ guidelines. WeMove Europe gGmbH will continue to demonstrate to the European Parliament that its citizens want air quality standards that are aligned with the science-based recommendations of the WHO.
