AfC attends 4th Latin American and Caribbean regional meeting on the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), Mexico City, Mexico

AfC Chairman Stacey Thompson participated in this one week conference, where consultations between UNEP SAICM staff from Geneva, regional SAICM focal points, scientists and other relevant interests, donor reps and colleagues from the International “POP” Elimination Network (iPEN), resulted in the passage of important resolutions that directly affect Caribbean and Jamaican communities. This collaboration further deepened AfC’s understanding of and commitment to the chemicals hazards agenda, for providing support to the regions responsible agencies and to regional communities, for protection against such hazards.
