| Chemicals and Waste Management Programme |
UNITAR's Chemicals and Waste Management Programmes provides institutional, technical, and legal support to governments and stakeholders to develop sustainable capacity for managing dangerous chemicals and wastes. Project activities take place within the framework of implementing international agreements (such as SAICM, Stockholm Convention, and Rotterdam Convention) aimed at protecting human health and the environment, while ensuring sustainable industrial development and facilitating the trade of chemicals. The UNITAR approach to capacity building supports a country-driven programmatic and integrated approach to chemicals management, as endorsed at the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM) in Dubai, February 2006.
