Breathing for Better Future

Overview

This project takes place in the time of the reform of the European legislative package on Ambient Air Quality (AAQD) which represents a unique opportunity for young people to take action and demand a more ambitious threshold to be adopted during the transposition process of the new directive.

With this project, our main goal is to show decision-makers that young people are mobilised and care about air quality issues. With our actions, we aim to urge member states to take responsibility for and take the necessary measures to ensure our air quality matches WHO recommendations.

Who is the project for?

The project primarily targets European youth, particularly those residing in Germany, Belgium, and France.

Objectives

Advocacy

Support a coordinated youth action to meet with decision-makers and advocate for more ambitious national air quality guidelines within the shortest possible timeframe.

Capacity Building

Build capacity on air pollution issues to create a pool of young people from across the EU with in-depth knowledge of the topic.

Awareness Raising

Raise awareness with the public about the process of air quality standards reform through public action.
