WHAT \ U.N. Safe Planet Campaign

U.N. Safe Planet Campaign

SAFE PLANET, the UNEP and FAO-led United Nations Campaign for Responsibility on Hazardous Chemicals and Wastes, was launched in Bali, Indonesia on 24 February, 2010 in the margins of the extraordinary meetings of the Conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions. This campaign aims at showing how each of us can take responsibility for keeping our planet safe against hazardous chemicals and wastes. By sharing responsibility, the Campaign promotes the life-cycle approach to chemicals and waste management at all levels of society, from Government, industry and educational institutions, to community-led initiatives, grassroots organizations, and the decisions of individual households and consumers.

In the short time since it's launch, Safe Planet has gained partners and champions around the world, rapidly propelling the campaign issues into mainstream media, fusing the energy and commitment of international leaders in arts, culture, sports, science, education, business, faith and politics to motivate governments, industry, communities and individuals to respond to the urgent need for action in our interdependent world.
