Family and friendly groupings will be organised on the occasion of the end-of-year festivities, with the end of the year ending the national lockdown planned for 15 December 2020 by the Government. The HCSP analyses the health risk posed by these groups of people and summarises international recommendations before making recommendations on the measures to be applied in order to limit the risk of COVID-19 contamination in this context. In particular, it provides recommendations to be applied before, during and after family and/or friendly reunification, and provides precise advice on the behaviour to be adopted during group meals. This opinion aims to inform the health authorities in managing these events and in communicating preventive measures to the public. It is also aimed at the population and participants in these groupings looking for concrete measures to be applied in order to minimise their individual risk of infection and the risk of contaminating their immediate surroundings in order to address this festive period in a responsible and calm manner. Thus, the HCSP recommends that these measures be widely disseminated through simple messages to the public, in particular those with a low level of health literacy through broad media and dissemination channels; by professionals in contact with the public: health, social and community support through positive, engaging, responsible but reassuring communication to the population to limit an anxiogenic effect. ; . ; Family and friendly groupings will be organised on the occasion of the end-of-year festivities, with the end of the year ending the national lockdown planned for 15 December 2020 by the Government.

The chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally. To tackle this challenge the establishment of an overarching international science-policy body has recently been suggested. We strongly support this initiative based on the awareness that humanity has already likely left the safe operating space within planetary boundaries for novel entities including chemical pollution. Immediate action is essential and needs to be informed by sound scientific knowledge and data compiled and critically evaluated by an overarching science-policy interface body. Major challenges for such a body are (i) to foster global knowledge production on exposure, impacts and governance going beyond data-rich regions (e.g., Europe and North America), (ii) to cover the entirety of hazardous chemicals, mixtures and wastes, (iii) to follow a one-health perspective considering the risks posed by chemicals and waste on ecosystem and human health, and (iv) to strive for solution-oriented assessments based on systems thinking. Based on multiple evidence on urgent action on a global scale, we call scientists and practitioners to mobilize their scientific networks and to intensify science-policy interaction with national governments to support the negotiations on the establishment of an intergovernmental body based on scientific knowledge explaining the anticipated benefit for human and environmental health. ; The chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally.

AbstractThe chemical pollution crisis severely threatens human and environmental health globally. To tackle this challenge the establishment of an overarching international science–policy body has recently been suggested. We strongly support this initiative based on the awareness that humanity has already likely left the safe operating space within planetary boundaries for novel entities including chemical pollution. Immediate action is essential and needs to be informed by sound scientific knowledge and data compiled and critically evaluated by an overarching science–policy interface body. Major challenges for such a body are (i) to foster global knowledge production on exposure, impacts and governance going beyond data-rich regions (e.g., Europe and North America), (ii) to cover the entirety of hazardous chemicals, mixtures and wastes, (iii) to follow a one-health perspective considering the risks posed by chemicals and waste on ecosystem and human health, and (iv) to strive for solution-oriented assessments based on systems thinking. Based on multiple evidence on urgent action on a global scale, we call scientists and practitioners to mobilize their scientific networks and to intensify science–policy interaction with national governments to support the negotiations on the establishment of an intergovernmental body based on scientific knowledge explaining the anticipated benefit for human and environmental health.
