Resources and information

This fourth webinar in the series of IOMC webinars on the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) Implementation Programmes focuses on “Developing a GFC Implementation Programme on Strengthening National Chemicals Legislation and Institutional Capacities”.

The topic for the programme was proposed at the fifth session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM-5), Bonn, Germany, 25 – 29 September 2023 in Resolution V/8.

The webinar will present suggestions for a set of terms of reference for the programme as well as a possible list of intersessional activities to support the programme development, including a global multi-stakeholder workshop provisionally scheduled to take place from 22 to 23 June 2025, back-to-back with the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) of the GFC. Furthermore, an outline for a high-level document on a Strategic Approach to a Modular Chemicals Management System, will be presented.

In advance of the workshop, a draft discussion document will be made available to webinar participants and GFC stakeholders via the webinar website.
