dc.descriptionThis statement outlines the role of international agreements on chemicals and waste in addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. It highlights that pollution receives limited attention in international cooperation frameworks despite being a key driver of environmental degradation. The text describes the widespread presence of hazardous chemicals and waste in everyday products and notes growing concerns related to plastic waste, electronic waste, toxic additives and hazardous pesticides. It emphasises the economic consequences associated with environmental degradation, including biodiversity decline, extreme weather impacts, resource loss and rising health burdens. The statement also stresses the importance of multilateral environmental agreements and strengthened national governance to advance coordinated action for environmental protection.
