Dear Colleagues,

We’re thrilled to invite you to the launch of the Gender & Chemicals Knowledge Platform – July 21, 2026, 2–3 pm CEST!

The Gender & Chemicals Knowledge Platform is a central base for gender-specific knowledge on chemicals and pollution. It brings together practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and other actors to share data, research, and practical resources. Its mission is  to raise awareness of gender-specific differences in chemical exposure, strengthen knowledge exchange, and empower actors across sectors to systematically integrate gender perspectives into chemicals management at all levels.

At the launch event, facilitated by Dr Minu Hemmati from the MSP Institute, we will introduce you to the new platform and explore with our expert speakers how to strengthen gender data and research, and advance gender mainstreaming in chemicals management to help solve the pollution crisis.

The platform is a project of the Gender & Chemicals Partnership and the MSP Institute, funded by the Federal Environment Agency and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, with funds made available by resolution of the German Bundestag.
