Urgent call for a strong SAICM-Beyond-2020-Framework ensuring sound chemicals and waste management!

Increasing chemical production, use of harmful chemicals, pollution and waste are turning into a third planetary crisis, beside the climate and biodiversity crises, and also exacerbating these two crises. There is an urgent need for solution focused actions along the whole lifecycle of chemicals and waste, addressing the threats to human health and the environment from the enormous use of chemicals, poor chemicals and waste management, and ever increasing production and raw material extraction.

There is no time to waste. We need an agreement for a strong SAICM-Beyond-2020-Framework that goes beyond the Dubai Declaration on International Chemicals Management  and secures ambitious regulation of chemicals and waste globally, bringing about real change, including a reduced use of chemicals and the implementation of safe alternatives. Our vision is a world where chemicals and wastes are no longer a source of harm and where all people live in safe and healthy environments, free from toxic threats to ecosystems and to future generations. We call upon all stakeholders to commit to this goal and to increase engagement, expressing a concrete will to end the poisoning of our world.
