The Gender & Chemicals Partnership (G&CP) is an international, multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral partnership. The novel coalition brings together key stakeholders from governments, academia, civil society, and industry to address the global pollution crisis through the lens of gender equality and empowerment. It was created to promote gender equality and empower women and girls in managing chemicals. The partnership intends to support addressing the global pollution crisis and contribute to achieving sustainable development and gender equality goals set by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.
In early 2023, the gaps in data, research and effective tools next to a growing recognition of the need for gender-responsive approaches in chemicals management sparked discussions about the formation of a unique multi-stakeholder partnership. The Gender & Chemicals Partnership (G&CP) was officially launched on September 28, 2023, at the 5th International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM5) in Bonn, Germany with support from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment (BMUV) and Partnerships2030. The novel coalition brings together key stakeholders from governments, academia, civil society, and industry to address the global pollution crisis through the lens of gender equality and empowerment. By leveraging the diverse strengths and expertise of its members, the G&CP aims to make a significant impact on both gender equality and sustainable chemicals management.
Join the Gender and Chemicals Partnership (G&CP) and become part of a unique international community dedicated to advancing gender-responsive chemicals management.
