UN Environment Assembly

IPEN participates in UNEA meetings, bringing original research and policy analyses to the deliberations.

In 2025, at UNEA-7, IPEN raised concerns about the potential for new challenges to the Plastics Treaty negotiations. 

At UNEA-6 in 2024, IPEN released two new reports:

• Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: Threats to Human Health provides a comprehensive update on the state of the science around EDCs, with increasing evidence that this large group of toxic substances may be implicated in rising global health concerns. 
• The Global Threat from Highly Hazardous Pesticides highlights ongoing health and environmental risks from HHPs, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
