The Minamata Convention on Mercury is an effort, negotiated under the United Nations Environment Program, to protect health and the environment from harmful effects of mercury. According to the U.S. government, it calls for signatories to “control and reduce mercury emissions to the air; reduce or eliminate the use of mercury in certain products and industrial processes; address the use of mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining; and reduce the supply of mercury by, among other things, ending primary mercury mining.”
