dc.descriptionIn February 2022, UNEP published a Synthesis Report on the Environmental and Health Impacts of Pesticides and Fertilizers and Ways to Minimize Them in response to the mandate in UNEA Resolution 3/4. Its overall goal is to provide the information base to enable other advocacy actions to be taken by stakeholders to minimize the adverse impacts of pesticides and fertilizers. Specific objectives of the Synthesis Report are to: Update understanding of current pesticide and fertilizer use practices; Present major environmental and health effects of pesticides and fertilizers, during their life cycle, and identify key knowledge gaps; Review current management practices, legislation and policies aimed at reducing risks in the context of the global chemicals, environmental and health agenda; Identify opportunities to minimize environmental and health impacts, including proven and innovative approaches.en
