The second Conference of the Parties (COP-2) to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) has adopted a number of key decisions on issues such as DDT and the financial mechanism.
The meeting, which was held from 1-5 May 2006, in Geneva, Switzerland, drew over 450 participants. COP-2 considered several reports on activities within the Convention’s mandate and adopted 18 decisions on, inter alia, DDT, exemptions, financial resources and mechanisms, implementation plans, technical assistance, synergies and effectiveness evaluation. In particular, key issues at COP-2 included the first review of the effectiveness of the financial mechanism of the Convention, and a process to enable evaluation of the effectiveness of the Convention at COP-4, in 2009. With the adoption of these decisions, COP-2 was widely perceived to have moved the process closer to the goal of eliminating or reducing the release of POPs into the environment.
