Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM)
Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management has its overall objective, the achievement of sound management of chemicals throughout their life cycle so that, by 2020, chemicals are produced and used in ways that minimize significant adverse impacts on human health and the environment. This ‘2020 goal’ was adopted by the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002 as a part of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.
