IPEN is a public interest NGO established in 1998 and consisting of over 700 NGOs in over 100 countries, all committed to a toxics-free future. Environmentally sound chemical management underpins all aspects of sustainable living and living in a pollution free world is recognised by the UNHRC as a basic human right. In the lead up to Rio+20, we have joined with other international networks (http://ipen.org/toxics-free-2012/global-partners/ ) and together have adopted a Global Common Statement for a Toxics-Free Future, and are calling for worldwide solidarity and for organizational sign-ons to this statement. On June 11th, we will hold our Toxic free Forum in Rio.
