Disqualified over a snowboard? That’s what happened to one Olympian after PFASs were found in his equipment. These chemicals are used in everything from water-resistant gear to non-stick pans. Under the Stockholm Convention, countries are working to phase out the most harmful PFASs: bit.ly/4at85YI

On 12 Feb @GENetwork organized the Chemicals & Waste Negotiations Briefing. Recommendations on #MinamataConvention's effectiveness will "guide future action & reflect on progress achieved & path ahead", said Exec Sec Monika Stankiewicz. Watch the video: genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/chemica…

"There is growing appreciation that multilateral environmental agreements do not operate in isolation from reality... but have the profound ability to bring states together to commit to joint action." Rolph Payet reflects on the path of MEA negotiations enb.iisd.org/articles/broke…

@ChemandWaste @IISD_ENB @UNEP @andersen_inger @UNITAR @chemwasteyouth @SRtoxics @WHO @ilo @ToxicsFree @IUCN @DrTedros @foenCH @bafuCH @Geneve_int @brsmeas @minamataMEA @IUCN_Plastics @NikhilSethUN "Taking action in a united manner becomes more crucial than ever." In the face of the #TriplePlanetaryCrisis, Rolph Payet, @brsmeas Exec. Secretary, emphasizes the necessity to have an inclusive multistakeholder approach to implement the multilateral environmental agreements.

Youth don’t just want to be heard and engage politically. They want to "engage technically and scientifically," stressed Ulises Bobadilla y Jiménez, a Mexican representative of @chemwasteyouth, at #ICCM5. "Youth mainstraining is key to improving action on 🧪chemicals & 🗑️waste."

“Adopting the global framework on chemicals waste – in the strongest, most specific, and most inclusive terms, backed with the right finance for developing nations– is urgent,” said @UNEP Executive Director @andersen_inger at the #ICCM5 High Level Segment👉bit.ly/46M2O9Z

"Our goal for #ICCM5 is to adopt ambitious targets and effective measures for sound chemicals management. Germany will provide 10 million euros, to support necessary future actions in this regard." – Federal Minister @SteffiLemke #BeatChemicalPollution bmuv.de/RE10758-1

A strong #ICCM5 outcome will have a positive effect on Multilateral Environmental Agreements. @RolphPayet, @brsmeas Executive Secretary, explains how the expected new framework on chemicals & waste could affect the implementation of the Basel, Rotterdam & Stockholm Conventions.

We face a triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature & biodiversity loss, and pollution & waste. We have global frameworks in place to address the first 2. ✅ This week, #ICCM5 could end in Bonn with a new framework on chemicals and waste. Let's harness the power of 3✨

On the last day of #BerlinForum, participants held two high-level dialogues: • how to strengthen the role of occupational health and safety, and decent work in all sectors using #chemicals • exploring innovative solutions to support a just transition enb.iisd.org/berlin-forum-c…

Thank you for joining us in these engaging discussions! We hope this #ICCM5 event 🌟 sparked your imagination on how we can transition towards safe & healthy employment in the chemicals & waste sector Together, let’s work towards a gender-just and toxic-free environment 💪

"I grew up taking a bag to go shopping. There were no plastic bags. In 30 years, we have filled the planet with plastic. There are things, like single-use plastic bags, that we can live without," said @RolphPayet, Executive Secretary of @brsmeas, at the #ICCM5 Youth Forum.
