Resolution 22/01

This resolution addresses per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of persistent chemicals of particular concern to coastal and riverine municipalities. KIMO highlights the widespread occurrence of PFAS in the marine environment and the need for stronger measures to reduce their use and release. The resolution supports ambitious regulatory action and reflects KIMO’s concern about risks to ecosystems and human health. It forms part of the organisation’s broader chemical-pollution advocacy and its work to improve awareness and knowledge among coastal communities. The resource provides a clear statement of KIMO’s position on the need for comprehensive measures addressing PFAS pollution.
