Presentation :

The pervasive presence of chemicals, waste, and pollution in our daily lives poses a direct threat to both the environment and human health. Recognizing this urgent need for action, on March 2, 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly of the United Nations Environment Programme made the decision to establish a science-policy panel. This panel aims to enhance the sound management of chemicals and waste while preventing pollution.

Currently, a series of consultations is underway to define the organizational framework of this expert group. The third and final stage of these consultations is scheduled to take place in Geneva from June 17 to 21, 2024.

During this session of the GHF, we will try to understand how this science-policy panel will function and how the scientific community and civil society organizations can actively contribute to its work. Additionally, we will investigate the potential synergies and interactions between this new panel and existing bodies such as the IPCC and IPBES.
