The main purpose of the Executive Board meeting was to discuss the next steps towards operationalizing the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund to make sure the continuation of planned activities mandated at ICCM5 until the first International Conference takes place in 2026. The Executive Board of the Global Framework on Chemicals Fund is a subsidiary body of the International Conference, hence, the rules of procedure of the International Conference apply mutatis mutandis to the proceedings of the current meeting, unless otherwise decided by the International Conference at its next session.
