Despite remarkable progress, lead poisoning remains a serious threat around the globe, particularly in Lower Middle-income Countries (LMICs), where almost one in three children is still exposed to unsafe levels of Lead, primarily from paint, toys, and electronics among other sources. The G7’s annual summit was a monumental moment in global effort to recognize the urgency of Lead poisoning prevention.
This webinar aims to unpack the significance of all these actions, discuss the challenges that LMICs face in drafting and implementing the necessary laws to safeguard their communities, and curb the damage due to human and economic burdens due to lead exposure. It also hopes to provide a knowledge sharing opportunity for successful endeavors to be scaled up and emulated in various parts of the world.
