The Zero Pollution ambition can only be realised by working together and joining forces of all actors of society. To this end, this session launches the Zero Pollution Stakeholder Platform, which will carry forward the discussions from the EU Green Week towards more regular exchanges and sharing of good practices. Together with the Committee of the Regions, the Commission will organised regular interactions on topics of common interest with the aim to meet again for the next Zero Pollution ambition conference in 2023.

The closing session will look at the environment and health nexus, which are fundamental to steering together our recovery and resilience efforts. It will explore challenges and opportunities for society, businesses, young people and others in particular in the regional and urban context. All participants will be asked to present their expectations towards the Zero Pollution Stakeholder Platform and, in conclusion, we will take stock of the main messages coming from this year’s Green Week.
