Environmental Reporting and Simplification
Environmental reporting has a key role in the environmental policy cycle. Although the costs of reporting are well recognised and studied, the benefits are challenging to account for, and little consideration exists of reporting specific benefits. Hence, it is essential to better inform the European public about these upsides while simplifying the reporting burden for…
The cost of PFAS pollution for our society
Concerns over the health and environmental impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been growing in the 21st century.
