dc.descriptionThis document distills the Global Chemicals Outlook II key messages for action “beyond 2020.” It reports that the 2020 goal to minimize adverse impacts of chemicals and waste will not be met, citing rapid industry growth, widespread releases of hazardous substances, and uneven implementation of core tools such as the Globally Harmonized System. It links chemicals and waste management to the 2030 Agenda, emphasizing SDG Targets 12.4 and 3.9, and outlines ten priority actions: strengthen life-cycle legislation and capacity; mobilize and innovate financing; harmonize hazard data and classifications; refine risk assessment and management; embed life-cycle approaches in supply chains; tighten corporate governance; expand green and sustainable chemistry education and innovation; foster transparency for workers and consumers; reinforce the science-policy interface; and establish a comprehensive global framework with measurable targets and indicators.en
