How Does the IUCN Influence Global Toxicological Policies?
The IUCN influences global toxicological policies by providing scientific evidence and recommendations to governments and international bodies. Through its expert commissions, such as the Species Survival Commission, the IUCN advocates for the reduction of harmful chemical use and promotes the adoption of safer alternatives. The guidelines developed by the IUCN are often integrated into national legislation and international agreements, helping to shape policies that minimize toxicological risks to both wildlife and human populations.
