Overview
As a contribution to facilitate an exchange of experience and to identify practical steps which countries can take to systematically address certain topics of national chemicals management, UNITAR has initiated a series of thematic workshops which address priority topics which have been identified by countries through Chapter 19 of Agenda 21 and the various IFCS recommendations. Many of the topics are inter-sectoral in nature and cut across the activities of various ministries and interested parties at the national level. For this reason, integrated and coordinated approaches, which take into consideration the perspectives of all interested parties and build upon existing experience, are considered to be of great importance.
Reports of the first 8 thematic UNITAR workshops on priority topics of national chemicals management capacity building are available to assist countries in their strategy development process in the areas of national information systems and information exchange; national awareness raising and education; national legislation and policies; national capacities for risk management decision making for priority chemicals; national capacities for chemical analysis and monitoring; interministerial coordination; financial resource mobilisation; and synergies for capacity building under international agreements.
