Join the ISLANDS Webinar Sharing SIDS experiences on the Minamata Convention webinar on the 14th /15^th December (depending on your region’s time zone).

Mercury is a highly toxic element considered one of the top ten chemicals of major public health concern according to the World Health Organization. It is controlled through the Minamata Convention, a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of mercury.

This ISLANDS event will explore key sources of mercury in Small Islands Developing States and showcase national approaches and experiences to phasing out mercury containing products. It will also serve as an opportunity to launch the ISLANDS Mercury Community of Practice on the Green Forum. 

Simultaneous translation in Spanish will be provided.
