As the world is facing the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Global Mercury Partnership is taking its activities online a step further: following the expert consultations on mercury from non-ferrous metals mining and smelting and from oil and gas earlier this year, the Partnership is rolling out a series of information-sharing webinars, currently on mercury-added products, with an upcoming event on mercury-skin lightening products organized in cooperation with the World Health Organization.
The overall goal of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is to protect human health and the environment from the releases of mercury.
