The Bahia Declaration on Chemical Safety was adopted at the third session of the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety in 2000. It reaffirms commitments to sustainable development, Agenda 21, and the Rio Declaration, emphasizing chemical safety's role in protecting human health and the environment. Key priorities include promoting global cooperation for chemicals management, increasing information on safe chemical use, building national capacities, implementing international conventions, securing resources for action plans, and raising public awareness.

The declaration highlights ongoing challenges such as insufficient infrastructure, inadequate protection standards, resource shortages for managing obsolete chemicals, and incomplete knowledge of chemical effects. It commits to collaborative efforts, innovative solutions, resource mobilization, and promoting treaties for early entry into force.

Specific, measurable goals are set for review at future forums, with deadlines ranging from 2001 to 2005. These include adopting conventions like the Persistent Organic Pollutants Convention, developing national profiles and action plans, establishing emergency systems, enhancing information exchange networks, and ensuring sound management of hazardous substances across regions.
