Governments are gearing up for the entry into force of a landmark global deal on curbing mercury emissions, scheduled for August this year.
At press time, 63 ratifications to the Minamata Convention on Mercury had been submitted, and there are 128 signatories. The accord was negotiated by some 140 nations that met four years ago to finalise the international binding treaty aimed at tackling the effects of mercury pollution on human health and the environment.
