Expert Consultations on “Mercury from oil and gas” under the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership - Kick-off Meeting (23 April 2020): Summary of Main Discussion Points

At its tenth meeting (Geneva, 23 November 2019), the Advisory Group of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership (PAG) requested the Secretariat of the Partnership to convene targeted discussions with interested partners and stakeholders on the issue of mercury from oil and gas, which it had identified as cross-cutting, i.e. where the collaboration of Partnership areas of work would facilitate the development of needed information, interventions and projects. In response to this request, expert consultations were launched on 23 April 2020, with the overall objective to identify potential useful contributions from the Partnership, within the context of its mission and its existing areas of work.
