Created a Post in Chemicals and Waste Management Community of Practice (CoP)
Welcome to the Chemicals and Waste Management Community of Practice!
The SAICM Secretariat is facilitating this Community of Practice (CoP) to host ongoing active discussions on issues of concern and chemicals of concern across diverse supply chains, capacity building and other relevant topics.
In 2020, SAICM established four CoPs – Highly Hazardous Pesticides, Chemicals in Products, Lead in Paint, and Chemicals and the Sustainable Development Goals – that have led successful knowledge exchanges.
While the activities of these communities came to an end in 2022, the SAICM Secretariat is continuing the momentum with a single, all-inclusive CoP on chemicals and waste management, in partnership with the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP).
On the SAICM websites, previous discussions on chemicals and waste management are still available.
We look forward to seeing you more often on the Green Forum to share your insights!

Created an Event in Chemicals and Waste Management Community of Practice (CoP)
Dear SAICM Community, Today I would like to introduce you to the ISLANDS Communities of Practice (CoPs).
The Implementing Sustainable Low and Non-Chemical Development in Small Island States (ISLANDS) is a UNEP led, GEF funded Programme supporting 33 SIDS in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Indian and Pacific ocean to pursue safe chemical development pathways.
Peer-to-peer and SIDS-to-SIDS learning are key components at ISLANDS. For this reason, the Programme supports 7 communities on the Green Forum on key aspects of our work. The communities are SIDS focused, but everyone interested on these topics is welcome to join.
Thanks and see you in the ISLANDS CoPs!
