WHO Chemicals Road Map

The Road Map identifies concrete actions where the health sector has either a lead or important supporting role to play in the sound management of chemicals, recognizing the need for multisectoral cooperation and is designed to be applicable to and used by Member States at all stages of development, as well as a broad range of stakeholders. It is a tool to identify areas of primary focus for engagement and additional actions relevant for chemicals management at the national, regional and international levels.

The actions listed in the WHO Road Map are organised into four areas: risk reduction; knowledge and evidence; institutional capacity; and leadership and coordination however, as these areas are interlinked, there are many actions that could have been placed in a number of different places within the road map. To avoid repetition, each action has been included only once and they are not presented in priority order.

The WHO Chemicals Road Map Workbook is a simple, practical and flexible tool designed to assist stakeholders to prioritize and plan for actions in the Road Map.
