AB  - The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) aims to protect 
      human health and the environment from POPs through a range of measures aimed at 
      reducing and ultimately eliminating their releases into the environment and 
      subsequent human exposure. Article 16 of the Convention sets the basis for a 
      mechanism to assess the success of the activities undertaken worldwide to 
      implement the Convention. One of major pillars for the evaluation of the 
      effectiveness of the Convention is monitoring data obtained through the Global 
      Monitoring Plan (GMP) for POPs. The implementation of the GMP over the last 
      eleven years, since the entry into force of the Convention, shows how a global 
      treaty such as the Stockholm Convention streamlined existing monitoring efforts 
      and triggered harmonization and further development of a global monitoring 
      network. In its initial stages, long term POPs monitoring programmes were 
      available only in some parts of the globe. Over more than a decade of generation 
      of harmonized, comparable monitoring data on 23 chemicals of global concern, a 
      rich and extremely valuable dataset has been generated in the frame of the GMP. 
      Long-term monitoring programmes have enlarged the scope of their activities to 
      cover newly listed chemicals, and new programmes have emerged. Monitoring data 
      are broadly shared through the GMP data warehouse, the Convention's 
      clearing-house mechanism, and through other appropriate global tools. Through its 
      global reach, the GMP contributes to the global chemicals and waste policy 
      agenda, supports and triggers further research initiatives, and provides 
      information to the general public at large.
