Provision of Expert Assistance to the European Environment Agency's Activities Supporting a Zero-pollution Ambition, Including Linkages between Environment, Health and Chemicals

Assignment text

The work will contribute to EEA’s role in supporting the ongoing development and implementation of key elements of the European Green Deal, including on the zero- pollution ambition and chemicals strategy. Specifically, work will support the achievement of the over-arching objectives set out in the EEA’s Multi-Annual Work Programme (MAWP) 2014-2020 and the EEA/Eionet Strategy for 2021-2030 (currently being finalised), as well as ensuring delivery of specific activities in future annual work programmes. EEA assessment activities are increasingly focused upon developing knowledge about the systemic challenges facing Europe and how these impact on the health and wellbeing of the European population. Looking forward, a transition towards a low carbon, circular economy is foreseen, and it is important to assess how this transition might positively or negatively influence the environment, health and wellbeing nexus.
