Stockholm Convention on POPs
• The Convention was adopted and opened for signature during the Stockholm Conference of May 22-23, 2001.
• The Convention is legally binding, global in scope and multimedia in coverage. The GEF is the Funding Instrument.
• Dirty Dozen: Pesticides (Agriculture and Health), PCBs (Industry and Energy), Dioxins/Furans (By products). 9 new Chemicals (Nasty Nines) and endosulfan recently added. HBCD (hexabromocyclododecane) to be considered at COP-6 in 2013
SC at 10: 10 new POPs added

UNIDO on Environmental Management
Promoting the cleaner and more efficient use of resources and energy by industry, i.e. the Green Industry
Facilitating productive activities (particularly in rural areas) through the provision of modern energy supplies based on renewable energy and development of environmental management standards.
Eliminating the dangers caused to human health and the environment by POPs and persistent toxic substances (PTS) contributes to a sustainable growth in productivity and, within the proper framework conditions, leads to a sustained and more equitable economic development.

The preparation of a NIP is foreseen in the framework of the obligations for the parties to the Stockholm Convention (Article 7) to define a country’s commitment how to implement the Convention requirements.
National Implementation Plan (NIP) and Enabling activities
What is a NIP?
It is the legal and institutional framework with the action and strategy plans that need to be
implemented to phase out, eliminate or reduce persistent
organic pollutants (POPs) listed under the Stockholm Convention
(Annex A, B and C).

NIP Update Guidance Documents
The set of guidance documents aims at:– supporting Parties in developing strategies to
restrict and eliminate the new POPs,– providing guidance on establishing inventories,
monitoring the presence of products and articles containing new POPs,
– selecting best available techniques and best environmental practices for situations when production, use and recycling of industrial POPs are allowed by the Convention.
UNIDO has developed for the SC Secretariat a set of guidance to assist Parties in updating their NIP to address the new POPs. (please refer to this link http://chm.pops.int/Implementation/NIPs/Guidance/tabid/2882/Default.aspx)
