UNDP’s work to promote early ratification of the Minamata Convention wins global award

These programmes have entailed activities which reduce mercury use and exposures in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM); reduce the use of mercury in products (such as medical devices, energy efficient lamps, dental amalgam, etc.); reduce releases of mercury from unsound disposal and recycling practices (e.g. open burning and incineration of e-waste and healthcare waste), as well as other mercury waste related interventions.
