Stakeholder Statement on the Global Alliance on Highly Hazardous Pesticides

30th September 2024 

On the First Anniversary of The Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC), global stakeholders call for the urgent establishment of the Global Alliance on Highly Hazardous Pesticides. 

On 30th September last year, the international community took a landmark decision to endorse the formation of a Global Alliance on Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs), with the goal of prioritizing effective measures to phase out their use in agriculture.

Mindful of the need for due process, the undersigned Organizations and Indigenous Peoples call on the FAO and the other UN organisations, to establish and launch the Global Alliance on HHPs, as a matter of utmost urgency, so that it can start working and deliver on its mandate to identify and promote safer alternatives and more sustainable agricultural practices, including agroecology, and support low and middle-income countries in phasing out highly hazardous pesticides.
