Focal points—nominated by governments, intergovernmental bodies, non-governmental organizations and the private sector—play a vital role in advancing the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC). Together, they act as key links between their diverse stakeholders and the GFC Secretariat, helping to coordinate efforts, share information, and support the implementation of the Framework’s objectives at national, regional, and global levels.
By engaging across sectors and constituencies, focal points help ensure that the GFC’s vision—a planet free from harm from chemicals and waste—reflects a wide range of perspectives and is responsive to real-world needs. They raise awareness, mobilize key actors, and promote collaboration on policies and practices aligned with the Framework’s goals.
As the GFC moves from commitment to implementation, strong and well-connected focal points are essential for building momentum and enhancing institutional capacity. Through their collective efforts, the GFC will ensure that knowledge and priorities from across all regions contribute meaningfully to global progress on chemicals and waste management.
