The Global Framework on Chemicals – For a Planet Free of Harm from Chemicals and Waste (GFC) is a multisectoral and multistakeholder agreement, emphasizing the importance of engagement and meaningful participation of both governments and non-governmental organizations from a wide range of sectors. It is the only international framework for addressing most of the world’s concerns around chemicals. While not legally binding, it expresses commitments made by governments and stakeholders that must be upheld.

The first Open-Ended Working Group meeting (OEWG-1) of the GFC took place in June 2025 in Punta del Este, Uruguay, to prepare for the First International Conference of the GFC in 2026 (IC-1).
