Youth Empowerment in the Minamata Convention

Youth Dialogue held online by high school students from Japan, Indonesia and Slovenia, with lively presentations and discussions covering mercury learning programmes and public awareness.

The high school participants have watched two videos from Kumamoto prior to the youth dialogue to learn about the measures and academic research for mercury management.

• Initiatives toward the realization of a “Mercury-Free” society: Messages from Kumamoto Prefecture.
• Messages from Ph.D. students from Prefectural University of Kumamoto.

Youth from Japan and Indonesia introduced their activities in implementing the Minamata Convention on Mercury at COP4.1.
