Zambia ratifies the Minamata Convention

A series of Minamata online briefings and regional preparatory meetings will take place from August to October 2025 to support Parties and stakeholders in the lead-up to COP-6.

Le 2 juillet, le secrétariat de la convention de Minamata a participé au premier échange des peuples autochtones d'Amazonie sur l'extraction illégale de l'or et la contamination par le mercure, qui s'est tenu à Leticia, en Colombie.

At the International Forum on the Implementation of the Minamata Convention in Bolivia, the Secretariat emphasized the importance of regular reviews of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) National Action Plans (NAPs).
