Budget/programme of work for the 2026–2027 biennium published (Convention governance output)

The Minamata Convention Secretariat published the budget/programme of work for the 2026–2027 biennium, including planned activities supporting implementation (e.g., COP-7 resourcing, Implementation and Compliance Committee work, capacity-building/technical assistance, effectiveness evaluation activities, and national reporting support). While not a new binding requirement for regulated entities, this official programme-of-work publication can influence timing/availability of future guidance, reporting support, and implementation/enforcement capacity across Parties.
