The Gender & Chemicals Knowledge Platform
The Gender & Chemicals Knowledge Platform is a new global resource from the Gender & Chemicals Partnership (G&CP), funded by the German Environment Agency and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, that focuses on the intersection of gender, chemicals, and pollution. It serves as a central hub for researchers, policymakers, NGOs, and others working on environmental health and gender justice, offering research, policy resources, and practical tools to support gender-responsive chemicals management worldwide.
