Contribution to UNEP Global Mercury Assessment
MSC-E took part in preparation of the UNEP Global Mercury Assessment 2013 (GMA 2013) used for negotiations of the Minamata Convention on Mercury. An update of GMA 2013 is now in progress and a revised assessment is planned to be completed by the end of 2018. MSC-E participates in the Project Coordination Group of the assessment (Geneva, April 2016).
