The final day of the Fourth Session of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM4) convened on Friday, 2 October, in Geneva, Switzerland.

In the morning, the high-level segment (HLS) reconvened.

A number of dignitaries also made high-level statements.

The closing plenary session convened in the afternoon, where the following resolutions were adopted: the sound management of chemicals and wastes beyond 2020; the overall orientation and guidance; emerging policy issues; highly hazardous pesticides; and the activities of the Secretariat and budget.
