Strengthening Capacity to Better Produce and Use POPs Monitoring Data
On 29 October 2026 (14:00-15:30 CET), the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) and UNEP's Chemicals Science and Policy Unit (CSPU) will host a virtual webinar on Strengthening Capacity to Better Produce and Use POPs Monitoring Data.
The webinar will present findings from a questionnaire assessing countries’ capacities, data availability, and priority needs for monitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and explore practical solutions to strengthen monitoring systems and use data to inform the development and updating of National Implementation Plans (NIPs) under the Stockholm Convention.
Legal and Regulatory Frameworks for Stockholm Convention Implementation

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is a multilateral environmental agreement dedicated to protecting human health and the environment from harmful chemicals that persist in the environment, accumulate in living organisms, and pose serious risks. The Convention’s website serves as a comprehensive hub for information on POPs, including details on initial and newly identified POPs, reports and decisions, and a wealth of resources such as brochures, fact sheets, guidance manuals, and other key publications. Explore it for indispensable tools and insights to support the effective implementation of the Convention. |
