United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is implementing a Japan-funded project called “Project for promoting the Minamata Convention on Mercury by making the most of Japan's knowledge and experiences” to support its member states for the implementation of the Convention. The project has a special focus on the area of information exchange, awareness and education, research, development, and monitoring. A comprehensive programme was designed to strengthen enabling capacity, build on the resources in and around Minamata, and employ technologies held by institutions in Japan for the effective implementation of the Convention’s obligations.
In addition to the in-person workshop planned in Sri lanka, Mongolia and Palau, national stakeholders are also invited to participate in a series of online training sessions. These brief online webinars will provide key context to the issues related to mercury, global mercury trade and the obligations of the Minamata Convention on Mercury. Attendees of all sessions will receive a Certificate of Participation.
