Safer Chemicals for a Sustainable Future
The Independent Evaluation of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) examines global progress from 2006 to 2015 toward the goal of managing chemicals and waste safely. Led by UNEP, the report highlights how SAICM has strengthened national policies, built partnerships, and increased awareness of chemical safety. The evaluation underscores achievements in risk reduction, governance, and capacity building, while calling for continued global cooperation, improved financing, and stronger integration of chemical safety into sustainable development.
