This report explores the various approaches taken by eight European member states to reduce or ban pesticide use in “sensitive” public areas and towns at large. The report underscores that phasing out pesticides in these areas is a matter of political will and that pesticidefree town maintenance is already successfully implemented by a multitude of actors and municipalities. Sharing their experiences, building on their knowledge and spreading alternative methods would be crucial to speed up the process to eliminate pesticides from public areas across Europe.
