Registration is open for the first International Conference of the Global Framework on Chemicals. 

From 16–20 November 2026 in Geneva, governments, industry, businesses, investors, civil society, academia and international organizations will come together to track progress, accelerate action and invest for impact. 

Three years after the adoption of the Global Framework on Chemicals, the Conference will provide a unique opportunity to: 

- Track progress and identify gaps 

- Accelerate action and exchange solutions 

- Build partnerships across sectors and regions 

- Explore pathways to scale investment and implementation 

- Help shape the next phase of global action on chemicals and waste 

A planet free of harm from chemicals and waste will require stronger collaboration, smarter investment and action across value chains. The first International Conference is where those conversations turn into commitments and measurable progress. 

Registration deadline for self-funded participants: 30 September 2026
