Reducing the supply of mercury has been identified as a priority area by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Governing Council, which considers primary mercury mining as an important activity to be addressed in order to reduce global loadings of mercury to the environment in the future. It is considered highly likely there will be global controls in place on mercury within a 10-year time frame.
