Compilation of training materials on environmentally sound management

This compilation provides a comprehensive categorization of existing training materials related to the environmentally sound management of hazardous and other wastes to assist Parties and others in their search for such training resources.

The twelfth meeting of the Conference of the Parties agreed to include provision for the identification of training programmes and activities to test, raise awareness of and demonstrate the ESM toolkit in the work programme of the expert working group. At its fourth meeting, the expert working group decided to establish, as a first step, a comprehensive list of existing training materials to help the group identify those training materials that could supplement the resources developed by the expert working group. The compilation of training materials on environmentally sound management developed in response includes references to Basel Convention training materials, as well as training materials of Basel Convention Regional Centres, United Nations entities and other international organizations. It may serve as a tool for Parties and others to identify suitable training materials on specific aspects of environmentally sound management.
