Six language webinars on mercury waste management

The management of mercury waste is a challenge faced by all the Parties to the Minamata Convention. With financial support from Switzerland, the Secretariat of the Minamata Convention is developing a capacity-building material and convening webinars on mercury waste management, in cooperation with the Basel Convention Secretariat and the Global Mercury Partnership. Several partners are supporting the Secretariat in developing six UN-language versions of the material and the webinar. The material will be posted on an online workspace so that Parties can use it in their national or regional activities, with further customization as needed. Questions on the material can be posted on the Minamata Convention Online Forum until 31 December 2024.
