Our Mission
The ESC is taking decisive action in an era where air, noise pollution, and climate change pose growing threats to public health – particularly cardiovascular health. Environmental sustainability is one of the six strategic priorities outlined in the ESC Strategic Plan 2023–2028, guiding our commitment to long-term impact.
The ESC Task Force on Environment and Sustainability unites a diverse team of experts. Our members include environmental specialists – such as atmospheric chemists and heart-healthy city, and transportation noise experts – as well as cardiologists, prevention specialists, and public health advocates. Together, we are dedicated to understanding the complex relationship between environmental factors and cardiovascular disease, and to drive solutions that safeguard heart health worldwide.
