Panel Session: Socio-Economic Analysis for Chemicals Policy
We live in a world of increasing use and reliance on chemicals. Some provide critical functions, others desirable but non-essential ones. Many are hazardous and may pose risks to the natural environment and human health.
Economics can play a crucial role in chemicals management and policy, by helping us to understand private and public costs and benefits associated with chemicals use.
​
In this session, we will be joined by representatives from different stakeholders to discuss the role of economic analysis in chemicals policy and management, as well as the challenges faced in this highly complex area.
