The Secretariat of the Minamata Convention has recently developed a capacity-building material and convening webinars on mercury waste management in six UN languages.
The management of mercury waste is a challenge faced by all the Parties to the Minamata Convention. To better support Parties, with the financial contribution of Switzerland, the Secretariat collaborated with global partners to develop capacity building materials and held webinars in six UN languages on this topic.
The newly developed training material is essential for the capacity building. The material is in the form of PowerPoint slides with read-out text. Parties and stakeholders are free to download the files and customize them, adding information on national regulations and practices as appropriate.
