| UNEP works towards making the world a safer place from toxic  chemicals by supporting governments to take needed global actions for the sound  management of chemicals, by promoting the exchange of information on chemicals,  and by helping to build the capacities of countries around the world to use  chemicals safely.  This  website aims to provide information on key activities on the global and  regional level, including information on the Basel Convention, the Rotterdam  Convention, the Stockholm Convention, and the Strategic Approach to  International Chemicals Management. Information is also provided on specific UNEP  programmes and activities related to chemicals. |
