OUR GOALS
Science-based decision making
Provide decision-makers with objective information on the state of global chemical pollution through a periodical report
from exposure to risk assessment
Encourage translation of initial mapping of chemicals in the environment into health and environmental impact
AWARENESS and policy
Interest and influence political and regulatory level to address chemical pollution issues based on this information
The vision
The GPCPE project carries the vision of a future shared in-depth understanding of the extent and nature of chemical pollution in the world.
Tens of thousands of naturally or synthetically produced chemicals are available on the world market. Increase in their use, in terms of volume and structural diversity, is a result of rapid global economic growth in the past decades. Poor regulation and inadequate risk assessment and management strategies have led to widespread contamination that directly impacts ecosystems and public health.

The chemical pollution of the planet and of its inhabitants is an issue probably as threatening to our civilisation as the climate change. Its diffuse nature however makes it difficult to assess and address as one global concern. That awareness is increasingly growing and the GCPCE initiative is taking part in it.
