Office/Unit/Project Description
The Minamata Convention on Mercury was adopted and signed by 92 countries at the Plenipotentiary Conference held on October 10 and 11, 2013, in Kumamoto, Japan, coming into force on 16 August 2017, 90 days after the deposit of the 50th instrument of ratification.
As of 17 July 2023, it has 144 Parties, including Pakistan. Pakistan deposited its ratification on 16 December 2020. The ASGM sector is considered as one of the most relevant sources of mercury emissions and releases into the environment, receiving special attention in the Minamata Convention. ASGM sector is the biggest source of anthropogenic mercury emissions to air of mercury.
