monitoring data on POPs in order to identify trends in levels over time as
well as to provide information on their regional and global environmental
transport.

5 regional monitoring reports and the
global monitoring report integrate
results of 11 years of POPs monitoring
What are the GMP data telling us?
The presence of POPs is ubiquitous
If measures are implemented to reduce or eliminate releases of POPs the concentrations in humans and the environment are decreasing

Report of the Effectiveness Evaluation Committee
The global monitoring plan provides the necessary environmental monitoring information to fully support the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Convention
Recommendation: The global monitoring plan should be sustained in the long term to enable it to continue to provide valuable data for effectiveness evaluation.

Thank youThe worldwide implementation of the Global Monitoring Plan is made possible
thanks to the generous contributions to the Stockholm Convention Voluntary Trust Fund from the Governments of Japan, Norway, Sweden, and through the European Commission’s Thematic Programme for Environment and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources, including Energy (ENRTP). Further, the contribution of the projects to support POPs monitoring activities in regions, funded through the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), is greatly acknowledged. Monitoring activities, and data collection and analysis are implemented in the five UN regions in cooperation with strategic partners and through involvement of Regional Organization Groups and Global Coordination Group.
