United Nations launches global campaign to strengthen synergies in chemicals and waste management
On 22 February 2010, more than one hundred forty governments will meet in Bali to strengthen ties between the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions, the world’s three leading treaties promoting the sound management of hazardous chemicals and wastes.
“The solutions are at hand. We need to reach out to a public affected by the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment and deliver to local, national and regional actors that can make a difference on the ground,” said Peter Kenmore, Co-Executive Secretary of the Rotterdam Convention for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
