Reciba actualizaciones periódicas de la Convención de Minamata
Se invita a las Partes, a los pueblos indígenas y a las organizaciones comunitarias locales, así como a las partes interesadas pertinentes, a presentar sus aportaciones al proyecto de orientaciones complementarias antes de finales de abril.
As explained in the letter from the Executive Secretary, this supplemental guidance is intended to support the effective engagement and participation of Indigenous Peoples, local communities and other stakeholders in the development and implementation of national action plans (NAPs) to reduce and, where feasible, eliminate mercury use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM).
Inputs can be submitted by using this comment form and email it to the Secretariat (mea-minamatasecretariat [at] un.org) by Wednesday, 30 April 2025.
Decision MC-5/7, the Conference of the Parties, requested the Secretariat, subject to the availability of resources, to prepare a supplemental section of the NAP Guidance. During the intersessional period and thanks to generous financial support of Australia and Norway, the Secretariat prepared an initial draft of the supplemental guidance based on available literature and expertise.
The finalized document of the supplemental guidance will be submitted to the upcoming sixth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-6) from 3 to 7 November 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland.
