IPCP - International Panel on Chemical Pollution

You will find us at LinkedIn or Bluesky from now on. bsky.app/profile/ipcp.b… ch.linkedin.com/company/intern…

Are you going to the SETAC meeting in Vienna? We invite you to submit abstracts to our session titled "Scientific Input to the New Global Science-Policy Panel," which focuses on the critical role of science in managing global chemical pollution. setac.secure-platform.com/vienna2025/sol…

Read our newsletter here: IPCP contributed to OEWG-3 on establishing a new science-policy panel on chemicals, waste, & pollution, we enjoyed SETAC Europe, published on SPP assessments, & are looking forward to our general assembly. ipcp.ch/news/newslette…

Our final briefing from #OEWG3 is out. This is not the end we had hoped for, but we will continue to work for a strong global science policy body that contributes to protecting human health and the environment.  ipcp.ch/news/geneva-br…

It was an honour to join the @IPCPch delegation at the @UNEP #OEWG3 meeting to establish a Science Policy Panel on #Chemical #Pollution and #Waste A somewhat disappointing result: work on the #SPP docs will have to continue in another session OEWG3.2 but scientists will persist!

"We are not separate from the environment. When you separate human life from the environment, it is only to justify the abuse or misuse of the environment." Indigenous Peoples' voices are heard at #OEWG3. Discussions to define a science-policy panel to #BeatPollution end today.

Pollution is a global problem that impacts us all. Deadly to humans, destructive to ecosystems & disastrous for economies. A science-policy panel is the first step to securing a pollution free world & what #OEWG3 must deliver. My #OEWG3 remarks: unep.org/news-and-stori…

Day 5⃣ of the 3rd session of the ad hoc open-ended working group to prepare proposals for a science-policy panel on #chemicals, #waste & #pollution prevention begins in #GENeva, marking the final day of the negotiations! #OEWG3 #SPPCWP ▶️ tiny.cc/GENOEWG3

“I want to stand at the Summit of the Future and say that you have future-proofed the issue of chemicals and waste.” @UNEP Executive Director @andersen_inger injects energy into the final plenary session of #OEWG3.

The briefing from day 4 of the #OEWG3 meeting is now online. ipcp.ch/news/geneva-br…

"Overall, it was a very full and intense day. Some said that they see light at the end of the tunnel, but others are still frustrated by the lack of progress and the concern that the result of OEWG-3 may be a “smallest common denominator”." ipcp.ch/news/geneva-br…

Interest in the #OEWG3 meeting is high. For good reasons, there is a lot of potential in the upcoming Science Policy Panel. Here is the IPCP briefing from day 2: ipcp.ch/news/geneva-br…

The #OEWG3 meeting has started and here is the first briefing from IPCP: ipcp.ch/news/geneva-br…

The new SPP offers the mechanisms to enable assessments framed as inputs to policy-making, to protect and support the recovery of local to global human and #environmentalhealth. @UofT @UofTenvironment @WUR @PyC_Gabriel #OpenAccess in ES&T Letters: go.acs.org/9LF

Just in time for the #OEWG3 we have a new Policy brief: Leveraging solution-oriented assessments for the Science-Policy Panel. For detailed background information: ipcp.ch/activities/ipc…

What will the new Science Policy Panel do? We have some suggestions in our latest publication and accompanying policy brief. Read more: ipcp.ch/activities/ipc…

Engaged in discussions with @ThoBaSwe and @HHollert, preparing for our Thursday session focused on chemical effects on biodiversity - the first time ever @WorldBioForum 2024 in Davos

Persistent organic pollutants, including PFAS, pesticides, and insecticides, don't degrade in the environment and spread easily, with the potential for significant negative effects on human and environmental health. Marta Venier, an @IUONeill professor, explains:
