Invitation for Comments to the Draft Indicators for the First Effectiveness Evaluation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury

This briefing takes place on Wednesday, 16 November 2022 from 13:00 to 14:00 CET. In decision MC-4/11, the Conference of the Parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury at its fourth meeting agreed to begin the first effectiveness evaluation. COP-4 adopted the framework for evaluating the effectiveness of the Convention and established the open-ended scientific group which has already begun its work. COP-4 also requested the secretariat to support an intersessional process to refine the list of indicators to be used in the effectiveness evaluation process, with a view to providing a final list of indicators for consideration and possible adoption by the Conference of the Parties at its fifth meeting. This session serves to provide information on the invitation for comments to the indicators for the effectiveness evaluation for the preparation of the documentation for COP-5 consideration.
