The second meeting of the Open-ended Working Group (OEWG2) of the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM) will be held from 15-17 December 2014, at the International Conference Centre in Geneva, Switzerland. The OEWG’s mission is to meet in the year prior to a session of the ICCM, to consider the implementation, development and enhancement of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM). ICCM4 tentatively is scheduled to be from 27 September to 3 October 2015 in Geneva.
OEWG2 is to review progress and gaps towards the achievement of the 2020 goal of sound chemicals management set out in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, particularly: regional achievements, strengths and challenges in the context of working towards the 2020 goal of the Strategic Approach; progress in achieving the objectives of the Overarching Policy Strategy of the Strategic Approach; implementation of the health sector strategy; and the overall Orientation and Guidance on the 2020 goal prepared by the SAICM Secretariat.
The OEWG2 also will review work on emerging policy issues and other issues of concern, including: lead in paint, chemicals in products, hazardous substances within the life cycle of electrical and electronic products, nanotechnologies and manufactured nanomaterials; endocrine-disrupting chemicals; environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants; and perfluorinated chemicals and the transition to safer alternatives.
Additionally the OEWG2 will consider the sound management of chemicals and waste in the context of the sustainable development goals, planned activities and draft budget of the Secretariat for the period 2016–2020, and other preparations for ICCM4.
IISD RS will provide daily web coverage, daily reports, and a summary and analysis of the conference. Kindly return to this site on Monday, 15 December 2014, for more information.
