The Minamata Convention’s digital strategy provides a framework to strengthen knowledge management, expand digital services, and promote innovation, enabling more effective information exchange, transparency, and collaboration in support of the implementation of the Convention.
Knowledge management and implementation of the digital strategy
Building on decision MC-5/16, COP-6 mandated, through decision MC-6/17, continued implementation of the Digital Strategy, prioritizing future activities such as potential use of artificial intelligence, maintaining the Convention website as the primary information source, and advancing cost-effective platforms for knowledge exchange, while requesting continued collaboration with multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), the Global Mercury Partnership (GMP) and InfoMEA.
Parties, other governments and stakeholders in a position to do so are invited to provide funding to support the implementation of decision MC-6/17.
