KIMO UK Submission to Call for Evidence from UK Parliament Environmental Audit Committee – 25 May 2025

This submission from KIMO UK responds to the UK Parliament Environmental Audit Committee’s call for evidence on PFAS. It describes PFAS as a group of persistent chemicals that can affect the environment and human health and emphasises the perspective of coastal municipalities. KIMO explains its international municipal network and highlights the role of local authorities in identifying, preventing and managing pollution. Drawing on KIMO’s experience of coastal environmental issues, the submission calls on UK decision-makers to take ambitious action on PFAS and improve protection for communities and ecosystems.
