Practice
BEST-COST seeks to establish a shared approach across Europe to understand the socioeconomic cost of environmental stressors and their impact on health. The project will trial new methodologies in five European countries to understand how they can be used at the national level as well as transferred to other countries and other stressors.
Policy
BEST-COST aims to provide useful tools and resources for policymaking, including policy recommendations and an action framework to support the implementation of new methodologies and enable a transition towards healthier, more sustainable and more equitable living and working environments.
