Second full national reports of the Minamata Convention on Mercury due by 31 December 2025

 

Article 21 of the Minamata Convention on Mercury requires that each Party to the Convention shall report to the Conference of the Parties, through the Secretariat, on the measures it has taken to implement the provisions of the Convention, on the effectiveness of such measures and on possible challenges in meeting the objective of the Convention.

Decision MC-1/8 provides that each Party shall report every four years using the full format. The second full national report covers the reporting period from 1 January 2021 until 31 December 2024, and is due on 31 December 2025.

Online Reporting Tool (ORT)

Parties are invited to report electronically through the ORT. The tool follows the annex to Decision MC-1/8, as clarified by Decision MC-4/8 and as amended by Decision MC-5/13. The ORT is available in the six official languages of the UN.

Access to the ORT

The National Focal Point of each Party is provided by the Secretariat with the login credentials to access the ORT and submit the report. If the National Focal Point has not received the login credentials, or if the Party is unaware whom the credentials have been sent to, please immediately alert MEA-MinamataSecretariat [at] un.org (MEA-MinamataSecretariat[at]un[dot]org).
