Even in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint continues to work with countries who are actively working toward the phase-out of the manufacture, sale and import of paints containing lead through the establishment of laws. This effort will prevent the exposure of many future generations of children to lead in paint that would have been used in homes, schools and playgrounds in countries without lead paint laws in place to stop the addition of lead. As we rebuild and recover from the pandemic, eliminating lead paint is an achievable goal that will help protect public health. Moving toward this goal, the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint is pleased to present its February newsletter, highlighting new updates to support our shared efforts and recent successes from 2020. Specifically, the Alliance is proud to offer the 2020 Update on the Global Status of Legal Limits on Lead in Paint. This update includes global and regional maps and the latest information on the status of countries’ lead paint laws as provided by governments to UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Health Organization (WHO). As of 31 December 2020, 79 countries had confirmed that they have legally binding controls on lead in paint. In this newsletter, we are also pleased to share updates about global efforts to address lead paint, including new resources to support national efforts, updates on progress towards laws, success stories from our Advisory Council, and lead paint in the news. You can also learn more about how you can continue to take action to make a difference. We hope you will use these materials to plan or promote effective programs to work towards eliminating lead paint. Wishing you all a safe and healthy year, without added lead!
