The Government of Jordan represented by the Ministry of Environment signed the MINAMATA’s binding treaty on Mercury and its compounds on 10 October 2013 and ratified the convention on 12 November 2015. The Minamata Convention on Mercury is a global treaty to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of mercury. The major highlights of the Minamata Convention on Mercury include a ban on new mercury mines, the phase-out of existing ones, control measures on air emissions, and the international regulation of the informal sector for artisanal and small-scale gold mining. The Convention draws attention to a global and ubiquitous metal that, while naturally occurring, has broad uses in everyday objects and is released to the atmosphere, soil and water from a variety of sources. Controlling the anthropogenic releases of mercury throughout its lifecycle has been a key factor in shaping the obligations under the convention. In terms of initial activities, Jordan has obtained funding from GEF for an enabling activity project (Mercury project). The project’s objective is to undertake a Mercury Initial Assessment to enable the Government to determine the national requirements and needs for the implememtation of the Minamata Convention and establish a sound foundation to undertake future work towards implementing convention provisions. To this end, the Ministry of Environment, will undertake the following activities; - Enabling environment for the implementation of the Minamata convention
