The aim of this meeting for members of the WHO Global Chemicals and Health Network is to share experience in awareness-raising campaigns and risk communication for successful chemicals management. Awareness-raising is a process that seeks to inform and educate people about a topic or issue with the intention of influencing their attitudes, behaviours and beliefs towards the achievement of a defined purpose or goal. Communicating risks to the public is important for mitigating and preventing exposures that may adversely affect health.
