The International Panel on Chemical Pollution (IPCP) is a global assembly of independent academic scientists working to advance the science-policy interface for chemicals, waste and management policies at local, regional, national, and international levels. IPCP operates with two primary objectives:
Independent Science: Providing a platform to conduct and synthesize objective assessments of research on chemical pollution and waste.
Building Science and Policy: Serving as a platform for independent academic scientists to collaborative contribute to science-policy initiatives, ensuring informed decision-making for regional and global policies on chemicals and waste management.
