Global Lead Network: Policy
Policy
Policy
Environmental protection and sustainability initiatives should emphasize translation of existing international commitments into effective action, and lead poisoning should serve as a priority issue for implementation. Both the nature of this long-standing problem and the nature of its solutions would make the elimination of lead poisoning an optimism-engendering model of international cooperation adaptable to other environmental and sustainable development problems.
