The Global Framework on Chemicals - For a Planet Free of Harm from Chemicals and Waste (GFC), provides the essential building blocks for a future in which humanity benefits from chemicals in a safe and sustainable manner, while avoiding their negative impacts.
The Framework, adopted in September 2023 at the fifth International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5), seeks to protect both the planet and human health.
This unique multi-stakeholder agreement brings in a variety of sectors including representatives from governments, the private sector, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations, youth and academia.
Please note that Sunday 15 November 2026 will be reserved for briefings and regional meetings. In addition, the Secretariat plans to organize a series of webinars and briefings in the coming months, and we kindly invite you and your teams to remain attentive to these opportunities for engagement.
