UNEP Activities in Chemicals

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.
