Sierra Leone becomes 33rd future Party to the Minamata Convention on Mercury

The Minamata Convention Secretariat contributed online to the Capacity-building workshop: Implementation of biodiversity and chemicals and waste Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), organized by UNEP - Law Division.

Government officials, industry managers, technical experts and UN officers met in Monterrey to kick off a project to stop mercury-based chlor-alkali production and clean up contaminated factories.

On Children's Day, we celebrate and encourage initiatives like planetGOLD Perú: Expedición Mercurio and others that strengthen youth engagement and are part of the solution to tackle toxic mercury.
