But what do stakeholders think about the future governance landscape on hazardous substances? In a project contracted by the German Environment Agency with funding from the German Ministry for the Environment, we conducted a series of 38 interviews with stakeholders engaged in the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM). A report on the outcomes of these interviews is now online at https://www.adelphi.de/en/publication/stakeholder-views-saicm-beyond-2020 The results show almost universal approval of the voluntary, multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral nature of SAICM. They highlight the need for further efforts to enhance implementation of the Strategic Approach, to increase participation of key sectors and stakeholders, and to prioritise action. The findings suggest a clear demand for enhancing SAICM based on its current strengths, and they reveal considerable room to manoeuvre through the intersessional process. Furthermore, we launched an information website on the beyond 2020 process. In the current beta version it already contains a number of key publications, highlights some upcoming events and aims at becoming a source of information on the future governance of chemicals and waste. You can find it at https://chemicalsbeyond2020.adelphi.de We are seeking to extend and expand the website over the coming months. If you would like to get engaged or want to see some relevant information included, please let me know. Last but not least, our affiliate and senior adviser Paul Hohnen just published a very concise article on "the pressing need for global chemicals governance" at Innovation Forum, making a strong argument for enhancing the institutional basis to deal with hazardous substances. He writes: "Chemicals will be essential to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda and the majority of its sustainable development goals. The SDGs, however, will not be reached unless we have both a new and improved framework for the sound management of chemicals and waste and parallel work to mainstream sustainable chemistry."
