Add your voice during the discussions to develop a global framework for chemicals and waste management post 2020

 

The Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) is a voluntary international policy framework to foster the sound management of chemicals worldwide and, specifically, to support multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder efforts toward the goal agreed to at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development that, by the year 2020, chemicals are produced and used in ways that minimize significant adverse impacts on the environment and human health. Currently SAICM stakeholders are engaged in an intersessional process to prepare recommendations regarding the Strategic Approach and the sound management of chemicals and waste beyond 2020. It is expected that an ambitious global framework for chemicals and waste management post 2020 will be adopted at the fifth session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5).
