Biodiversity Research Institute Announces Publication of New Scientific Paper on Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Global Mercury Treaty

Evaluating the effectiveness of the Minamata Convention on Mercury proposes an approach to measure the Convention’s effectiveness that includes a suite of short-, medium-, and long-term metrics related to five major mercury control Articles in the Convention: 
• Supply sources and trade (Article 3 of the Convention) 
• The use of mercury in products (Article 4)
• Manufacturing processes that use mercury (Article 5)
• Mercury use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM; Article 7)
• Air mercury emissions from coal-fired power facilities and other sectors (Article 8)
