dc.descriptionThis report summarises a regional workshop convened to address mercury use in products across the Americas, outlining collaborative efforts, policy frameworks, and technical approaches for reducing mercury releases. It describes the context of international and regional initiatives, including partnerships, regulatory programmes, and national actions, and details methods such as inventories, databases, and waste management strategies. The document reviews sources of mercury, trade and data challenges, and sector-specific practices in healthcare, industry, and mining. It highlights capacity gaps, financial and technical constraints, and varying national conditions. Key findings emphasise the need for improved data collection, coordinated policies, alternative technologies, and strengthened international cooperation to support mercury reduction efforts.
