OECD to participate in partnership initiatives of the WSSD

One of the main outcomes of the WSSD is the development of various Type II partnership initiatives. For these, like-minded governments, stakeholders, and inter-governmental organisations agree to tackle specific issues together, specifying the results to be achieved and the resources to be contributed. The OECD will participate in 6 Type II partnership initiatives:

• Global Partnership for Capacity Building to Implement the Globally Harmonized System for Chemical Classification
• Integrated Approach to Prevention, Preparedness for and Response to Environmental Emergencies in Support of Sustainable Development
• Children's Environmental Health Indicators
• Pan-European East-West Environmental Partnership for Sustainable Development
• EU Water Initiative: Water for Life
• Euro-Mediterranean Water Poverty Facility
