AB The chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally. To tackle this challenge theestablishment of an overarching international science–policy body has recently been suggested. We strongly supportthis initiative based on the awareness that humanity has already likely left the safe operating space within planetaryboundaries for novel entities including chemical pollution. Immediate action is essential and needs to be informedby sound scientific knowledge and data compiled and critically evaluated by an overarching science–policy inter‑face body. Major challenges for such a body are (i) to foster global knowledge production on exposure, impacts andgovernance going beyond data‑rich regions (e.g., Europe and North America), (ii) to cover the entirety of hazardouschemicals, mixtures and wastes, (iii) to follow a one‑health perspective considering the risks posed by chemicals andwaste on ecosystem and human health, and (iv) to strive for solution‑oriented assessments based on systems think‑ing. Based on multiple evidence on urgent action on a global scale, we call scientists and practitioners to mobilizetheir scientific networks and to intensify science–policy interaction with national governments to support the nego‑tiations on the establishment of an intergovernmental body based on scientific knowledge explaining the anticipatedbenefit for human and environmental health.
