New Zealand's National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants

December 2006, Ref. ME789

The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants commits governments to take measures to protect human health and the environment from persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In practice, this means reducing and, where feasible, eliminating the production and environmental releases of the 12 chemicals presently listed as POPs. New Zealand's National Implementation Plan under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants sets out how New Zealand is meeting its obligations under this convention.
