HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-01-02: Zero-pollution cities

10 October 2024|
Expected Outcome:

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

  • Methods for more precisely assessing exposure to air, water, soil and/or noise pollution, health impacts and public information at regional and/or local level;
  • Methods for better assessing exposure of vulnerable groups (including due to socio-economic context) to air, water, soil and/or noise pollution at regional and/or local level, enabling more precise evidence to inform health impact assessments;
  • Improved and comparable assessment of mortality and morbidity impacts of air, water, soil and/or noise pollution at regional and/or local level[1];

  • Improved understanding of the role of behavioural economics, psychology and organizational behaviour to design measures oriented to lower pollution in urban environments;
  • Improved understanding of the correlation between improving environmental quality of urban spaces and human health and wellbeing;
  • Methods for determining the sources of air pollutants at urban level so that local authorities, stakeholders and citizens know the proportion of the pollutant emissions attributable to urban transport, heating etc.
  • Comparative analysis of selected successful pollution reduction/abatement strategies at local level and identify key factors underlying such successes and their replication potential.
Scope:

Cities are concerned by various types of pollution, including air, water, soil and noise pollution, and their negative impacts on human health and the
