Rolph Payet
Executive Secretary,
Secretariat of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions

It is my aim to continue to integrate a gender perspective in the sound management of chemicals and waste, and to assist the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions to do the same.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I will ensure the BRS Secretariat integrates gender considerations in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation phases of all projects to ensure women and men benefit equally from BRS technical assistance and capacity building.
I will work to raise awareness about the importance of empowerment of women and gender equality in promoting and achieving sustainable chemistry - in particular to communicate the importance of women in STEM, the need to advance gender differentiation within study of toxicology and the importance of inclusiveness in sustainable chemistry as a means of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
