Lever­ag­ing his­toric UN GFC agreement

IPEN

IPEN’s glob­al net­work and part­ners will par­tic­i­pate in the devel­op­ment of poli­cies around the new UN Glob­al Frame­work on Chem­i­cals (GFC) and oth­er UN chem­i­cal pol­i­cy agree­ments (Stock­holm, Basel & Rot­ter­dam Con­ven­tions and the ongo­ing Plas­tics Treaty nego­ti­a­tions) to advance nation­al action to reg­u­late high­ly haz­ardous pes­ti­cides and tox­ic chem­i­cals asso­ci­at­ed with plas­tics. This work is crit­i­cal now as the evi­dence shows we have already breached the ​“plan­e­tary bound­aries” for threats from chem­i­cals and plastics.

For this project, IPEN will advo­cate for glob­al poli­cies at GFC meet­ings and oth­er glob­al forums. IPEN sup­ports the par­tic­i­pa­tion of their mem­bers at glob­al pol­i­cy forums to devel­op strate­gic advo­ca­cy, research, and com­mu­ni­ca­tions activ­i­ties in the Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin Amer­i­ca, and Mid­dle East regions, to pro­mote nation­al policies.
