They work together to protect human health and the environment by controlling the production, use, trade, and disposal of dangerous substances across their life cycle. The conventions promote sound chemicals and waste management, international cooperation, and shared responsibility, especially for developing countries.
Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management
SAICM stands for the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management. It is a global policy framework that supports the sound management of chemicals throughout their life cycle to minimize adverse impacts on human health and the environment. SAICM promotes multi-stakeholder collaboration, capacity building, and chemical safety to support sustainable development and achievement of the SDGs.
