This guidance provides information and strategies to enhance collaboration with national statistical offices (NSOs) and other relevant institutions. The aim is to address the identified gaps in data and related information of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), particularly in sectors such as electronics, transportation, and imported/in-use/end-of-life vehicles.
The document also includes recommendations for strengthening dialogue with the NSOs and other responsible institutions to improve and supplement the production of national statistics relevant to POPs data for the review and updating of national implementation plans (NIPs). The target audience is the national focal points of the Stockholm Convention, policymakers and government officials involved in the NIP review process.
As part of the GEF-funded and UNEP-led “Global Development, Review and Update of NIPs under the Stockholm Convention on POPs” project, the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is executing Component 4, focused on disseminating information, managing knowledge and coordinating with the Stockholm Convention Secretariat to provide accessible, integrated tools and resources for all Parties.
