The blog highlights why integrating gender considerations makes NIPs not only fairer, but also more effective.

Update on the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC)

The Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC)—adopted in 2023—establishes a global roadmap for sound chemicals and waste management with five strategic objectives and 28 measurable targets. It unites governments, industry, civil society, and partners to reduce harmful chemical impacts, promote safer alternatives, and protect human and environmental health.

A major milestone took place recently in Punta del Este, Uruguay, with the inaugural meeting of the GFC’s Open‑Ended Working Group (OEWG), held from 24–27 June 2025. Over 600 participants from across sectors came together to align on priorities, mobilize resources, and build momentum for implementation.

? Check out the recap of what took place: https://www.unep.org/events/conference/open-ended-working-group-oewg-gl…

? Is your organization contributing to the GFC’s goals?
