The NGO's strategy on mercury reduction can be summarized in the five points below:
Work should start towards a global binding instrument on mercury, as soon as possible.
The findings of the trade report conducted for UNEP should be utilised and concrete actions should be taken including the following:
Global Mercury Demand Reduction goal of 50% by 2012 and 70% by 2017.
Global Mercury Supply Reduction
Financial Assistance
Developed countries should provide new and additional financial resources to support these activities in developing nations, and GEF should create a financial assistance mechanism to support global mercury activities consistent with the above proposals. http://www.wwfguianas.org/our_work/goldmining/mercury_timebomb.cfm
