ECW, Vietnam, Da Nang, 5 April 2017 Facilitating synergies in implementing MEAs towards sustainable development www.brsmeas.org @brsmeas 1 4/9/2025
Synergies at the institutional level Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions look back on over a decade of synergies: Joint Secretariat Joint Conferences of the Parties (triple COPs) Joint sessions at the COPs 2 www.brsmeas.org @brsmeas 4/9/2025
Joint sessions Financial resources and mechanisms Technical assistance Synergy reviews Compliance Technical guidelines Programme and budget International cooperation 3 4/9/2025
Synergies at the institutional level Challenges and opportunities: Coordination and coordination at the national and regional level Increased complexity Cross-fertilization of ideas Enhanced decision-making National capacity key to synergies Technical assistance (BRS Secretariat) Special Programme (UNEP) 4 www.brsmeas.org @brsmeas 4/9/2025
Synergies in the implementation of the Conventions Promoted through existing guidance to the GEF: Give special consideration to support for those activities identified as priorities in NIPs which promote capacity-building in sound chemicals management, so as to enhance synergies in the implementation of MEAs and further strengthen the links between environment and development objectives. Decision 3/16 (para 12) 5 4/9/2025
Synergies in the implementation of the Chemical and waste Conventions Elements of guidance that also address the relevant priorities of the Basel and Rotterdam conventions: POPs waste (including e-waste) Waste minimaztion (U-POPs eliminiation) Development or strengthening of national legal and regulatory frameworks Decision 7/21 (para 8) Synergies with the Minamata Convention (technical guidelines, BAT/BEP, possible institutional synergies, regional centres) Other opportunities: co-incineration, inventory development, reporting 6 4/9/2025
Broader synergies Programming across focal areas in the environment field (in the GEF context) Implementing the SDGs: e.g. sustainable consumption and production, food and water security 7 4/9/2025
