| dc.description | This document outlines global efforts to eliminate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) under the Stockholm Convention, mandating identification, removal, and environmentally sound disposal of PCB-containing equipment by 2028, with regular progress reviews. It presents available technical guidance and the PCB Elimination Network’s roles, then consolidates reports to explain data sources, assumptions, and inventory limitations. Regional analysis shows most elimination in Asia-Pacific and WEOG, while large remaining masses, mainly in transformers, persist. Figures note about 3 million tonnes eliminated versus about 14 million tonnes still to manage. The presentation ends with strategies and questions urging coordinated action to meet 2025/2028 targets. | en |
