substances (ODS), through a significant reduction in the production, use, consumption and
emissions/releases of those chemicals and waste

conditions, tools and environment harmful chemicals and waste and support
for the sound management of the implementation of clean alternative
harmful chemicals and wastes technologies/substances

 Support to integrated approaches
Chemical and Waste components relevant integrated approaches to address key
issues, including:
– For Cities
• Promote comprehensive waste management systems in municipalities through
promotion of the 3R, and eradication of open burning of municipal, medical and
electronic waste which contain hazardous chemicals- POPs and mercury
• Phase out PCBs in electrical equipment and the electrical grid
• Phase out the use of mercury in products, lighting, etc…
• Promote BAT/BEP to reduce UPOPs emission from industrial processes

– For Food security

• Promote Sound management of pesticides used in urban agriculture
• Assessment and clean up of agricultural lands contaminated with hazardous
POPs and/or other hazardous chemicals
