'Youth mainstraining is key to improving action on 🧪chemicals & 🗑️waste.'

“Adopting the global framework on chemicals waste – in the strongest, most specific, and most inclusive terms, backed with the right finance for developing nations– is urgent,” said UN Environment Programme Executive Director Inger Andersen at the #ICCM5 High Level Segment👉bit.ly/46M2O9Z
