During the Fifth International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5), representatives from governments, the private sector, NGOs, intergovernmental organizations, youth, and academia came together to unanimously agree to establish the "Global Framework on Chemicals - For a planet free of harm and chemicals waste."

“Everyone on this planet should be able to live and work without fear of falling sick or dying from chemical exposure. Nature, free from pollution, should be able to thrive and support humanity for millennia to come,” — Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)

With the adoption of the framework, it is encouraging to see pollution and waste being recognized at the same level as the crises of climate change and nature and biodiversity loss.
