The thematic session on Promoting Lead Paint Bans in the SEA Region at the IPEN Southeast and East Asia Regional Meeting in Palawan, Philippines, focused on advancing lead-safe policies through shared regional experiences and strategies.

The session, moderated by Dr. Geminn Louis Apostol (Ateneo Center for Research and Innovation), featured an overview of IPEN’s campaign by Jeiel Guarino (IPEN: for a toxics-free future) and panel insights from Nexus3 Foundation, Ecowaste Coalition, and Consumers Association Penang - CAP. It highlighted varying levels of progress in national lead paint regulations across the region.

Panelists emphasized effective strategies such as engaging governments and industry, using evidence-based advocacy, and strengthening public communication on health risks. Key challenges included weak enforcement, industry resistance, and limited awareness, while opportunities lie in stronger policy implementation and regional collaboration. The session underscored the need for sustained partnerships and public education to accelerate the phase-out of lead in paints.
