The Strategic Framework (2025–2031) is bold—but implementation demands more than ambition.
We need to embed POPs control into SDG-linked borrowing and budget planning. Harmonize trade rules with digital product passports and traceability. Mobilize blended finance for remediation and circular design.
@UNEP @gef @Stockholm Convention Secretariat—are ESG instruments reflecting the true risks of POPs exposure and non-compliance?
Depuis qu'ils ont été interdits par 152 pays en 2001 #StockholmConvention, les polluants organiques persistants (POP) sont en constante diminution dans tous les océans du monde, sauf en #Arctique
Malgré une interdiction mondiale en 2001, ces composés chimiques sont toujours transportés vers l’hémisphère nord par les courants océaniques mondiaux, dégradant ainsi les écosystèmes polaires.
Regulations for persistent substances must be #precautionary to prevent their poorly reversible accumulation in the environment, and NOT just #reactionary like the #StockholmConvention, requiring proof of - or damage from - accumulation in the environment.
2/4
Big, ambitious paper by @ModelerLi, @KnutBreivik and co-authors in @EnvSciRSC.
Inventories and emission estimates for 25 #StockholmConvention #POPs from 1930 until 2020!
I hope all this hard work will become #OpenData...
