Outcome

The Governments of Germany and Japan co-funded the seventh face-to-face meeting of the expert working group and the Government of Ghana provided the venue. At its seventh meeting, the expert working group on environmentally sound management (ESM) considered the relevant outcomes from the thirteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, which took place earlier in 2017. The Group considered its 2018/19 work programme, as adopted by the Conference of the Parties, and progressed its work on the development of tools for the ESM Toolkit. Such tools include i. practical manuals on: EPR and financing and ensuring that notifications of transboundary movements meet ESM requirements; ii. guidance on recycling and recovery; iii. guidance on how to address ESM in the informal sector, among others.
