• UNEP Mercury Treaty negotiations
  from UNEP February 2011 press release:  “The realisation of a global treaty on mercury is gaining momentum following a meeting of over 120 states in Japan. Governments met last week in the city of Chiba to continue negotiations on creating a global treaty on mercury and help reduce sources of mercury pollution. The meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) - for which UNEP's Chemical Branch provides the Secretariat - was the second in a series of five such events, which is due to culminate in a legally binding instrument on mercury by 2013.”  For more information on the UNEP mercury programs, see
