On 26 January 2022, the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) supported the science and policy call for setting up a global panel on chemicals, waste, and pollution at the Burlington Consensus event, organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and the UK Government’s Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).

Floris Rutjes, EuChemS President, and Nineta Hrastelj, EuChemS Secretary General, participated remotely to this event and addressed several topics, including the need to establish an independent, inclusive, and global platform.

More information about the Burlington Consensus is available on the EuChemS website.
