Global Science-Policy Efforts in Relation to Chemicals and Waste

A draft resolution has been put forward to the Fifth meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 5), with a proposal to establish a new Science-Policy Panel to support action on chemicals, waste and pollution.

IPEN has engaged in the science-policy discussions under the BRS- and Minamata Conventions, SAICM and UNEA for many years. The February 2022 paper (below) aims to share IPEN’s views on this topic in contribution to both the science-policy discussions at UNEA and in other fora.

Also see the October 6, 2022 IPEN-CIEL statement at the first meeting of the ad hoc Open-Ended Working Group meeting on a science-policy panel here.
