This policy brief addresses growing concerns around PFAS, a group of highly persistent synthetic chemicals used in industrial and consumer products.
This report assesses the long-term sustainability of the Global Monitoring Plan under Article 16 of the Stockholm Convention, which supports global data collection to evaluate progress in reducing exposure to persistent organic pollutants.
This case study analyzes persistent emissions of dioxins and other unintentional POPs from the Reststoffen Energie Centrale waste incinerator in Harlingen, the Netherlands.
This factsheet explains the concept of Low POP Content Levels (LPCLs), which defines threshold concentrations of POPs in waste materials. If exceeded, these thresholds require waste to be treated through destruction or irreversible transformation under the Stockholm Convention.
This report examines how the existing global regulatory architecture governs chemicals of concern in plastics, with particular attention to the role of established multilateral environmental agreements such as the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions.
This document aims to strengthen Parties’ implementation of the Stockholm Convention by providing practical guidance for identifying persistent organic pollutants in materials, products and wastes.
This report summarizes a roundtable on POPs inventories, where representatives from project countries, the Stockholm Convention, regional centres and experts shared experiences, insights and best practices in inventory development and updates.
This guidance provides information to define contaminated sites and an evidence-based, stepwise approach to identify, inventory and manage POPs contaminated sites.
This guide supports countries in navigating the knowledge management and information sharing infrastructure available under GEF ID 10785 project to support Parties' development, review and update of National Implementation Plans under the Stockholm Convention.
This guidance document supports the objectives of the global monitoring plan for persistent organic pollutants by providing a standardized framework for collection, analysis, statistical evaluation and reporting of POPs data.
