This report summarizes the roundtable Inside the POPs Inventory: Lessons, Challenges and Successes from the Global NIP Update. The event brought together representatives from project countries, Parties to the Stockholm Convention and regional centres to share practical insights on developing and updating persistent organic pollutants (POPs) inventories.
Speakers from Côte d’Ivoire, Peru, the Bahamas, Kenya, Guyana, Armenia, Kazakhstan, North Macedonia, Montenegro and international experts discussed technical progress, common challenges and best practices. Through open discussion and peer-to-peer learning, participants identified ways to improve data collection, analysis and inventory processes to support future efforts under the Stockholm Convention.
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.
