Global Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste, and Pollution:
The Global Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste, and Pollution has been established at Punta del Este, Uruguay, under the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). This panel complements the IPCC (climate change) and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) (biodiversity), forming a trifecta of intergovernmental science-policy bodies that address the triple planetary crisis (climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution).It fills a key gap in global environmental governance by focusing specifically on pollution and waste.It aims to strengthen global efforts in tackling pollution, managing hazardous chemicals and waste, and safeguarding environmental and human health through evidence-based policymaking.
