Session details
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SDGs were adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 2015. The SDGs aim to meet the dual challenge of overcoming poverty and protecting the planet. They highlight a comprehensive vision of sustainable development that embraces economic, social and environmental dimension.
The goal of this community of practice is to facilitate discussions with various stakeholders from different sectors on documents and other knowledge materials being developed around the linkages between chemical management and the achievement of the sustainable development goals, including gender (learn more about SDGs here).
Another key goal is how to bring in and engage with the youth in relation to chemicals and the sustainable development goals.

Given what we know about pesticide use in Tanzania, there is significant population exposure and health effects. We participate in efforts geared towards management of pesticide-related occupational and environmental health hazards by documenting exposures and their related health and environmental impact and mobilizing action towards prevention of exposure and controlling effects to the environment and populations at risk. By doing so, we contribute to a healthier environment.
