UNITAR’s Chemicals and Waste Management Programme in partnership with OECD, and funded by the Government of Switzerland, organised a series of regional workshops in 2018. These workshops were aimed towards professionals working nationally or at the regional level in the nano field or broader chemicals management. Perspectives and experiences from governments, regional experts, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations were included. Thanks to the secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions for the opportunity to host this workshop back-to-back with the Basel OEWG11.
