Over 27% of pesticides approved in Togo are highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs). Eight (8) of these highly toxic pesticides were registered by the National Committee of Plant Protection Products of Togo and are commonly used in the country even though they are formally banned in Europe and other countries of the world. Find out more in this national report on HHPs and alternatives in Togo from the Organization for the Environment and Sustainable Development (OPED).
This project relates to Sustainable Development Goals 2, 3, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
IPEN members around the world have conducted research n their countries to document production, uses, and disposal of highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs). Their work is often the only such research of its kind from their nations and is vital in global and national policy development toward phasing out HHPs and promiting safer, agroecological practices.
For more than two decades, IPEN members have documented threats to health and the environment in their countries from persistent organic pollutants (POPs), some of the most toxic chemicals known. See some of their country-based research reports.
IPEN members have documented threats from plastic waste in their countries, including from plastic recycling, waste dumps, and other sources. See the reports below for their country-based research.
IPEN members researched the situation in their countries around plastic waste fuels, also called refuse derived fuel or RDF. Below are country-based reports with the results from each project.
