By Maria Burke2021-02-25T09:30:00+00:00 Climate change has the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and biodiversity has the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service (IPBES), but no comparable body exists to oversee the environmental impact of waste and chemicals. Now, an international group of scientists is calling for an equivalent body for chemicals and waste, and the idea has been broadly welcomed. The science-policy body would conduct scientific assessments, identify emerging concerns, and connect policymakers and scientists, providing a scientific basis for action on chemicals and waste, says Zhanyun Wang, a senior scientist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and one of the scientists proposing the new body. ‘We need international cooperation to address issues that transcend borders, such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants and plastic wastes.’
