dc.descriptionThis document summarises outcomes of the 2025 meetings of the conferences of the Parties to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions held in Geneva from 28 April to 9 May with more than 2,200 participants representing Parties and observer organisations.

The Rotterdam Convention listed additional hazardous pesticides, while the Stockholm Convention added industrial chemicals and pesticides to control lists.
