It would be a "new UN panel with independent researchers to tackle the risks from chemicals in the same way that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is doing for climate change" (ECHA 2009) or the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is doing for biodiversity loss. The IPCC has addressed chemicals in its assessment reports, the connections between climate effects and chemicals could be made more explicit in the work of both climate and chemicals-related institutions. In the same vein, the IPBES could be used to address chemicals issues (and it has already done so, see, e.g., the report on pollinators) (IPBES 2016): for instance, the future global assessment report on marine biodiversity provides opportunities to address questions related to chemicals.
