Industrial accidents can happen anywhere, anytime. Often, they have severe consequences on human health and the environment, including in other affected countries. The UNECE Industrial Accidents Convention helps its Parties to prevent industrial accidents, especially those with transboundary effects, and to prepare for and respond to such accidents if they occur. The Convention contributes to the attainment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the Sustainable Development Goals.
