Connor Heeney addressed the sixth Conference of the Parties to the Minamata Convention on Mercury on cross-cutting matters under the implementation of decision MC-5/1.
The Minamata Convention protects human health and the environment from mercury, whose effects fall hardest on children. The Foundation's statements to the sixth Conference of the Parties addressed cross-cutting implementation questions under decision MC-5/1.
Advocacy of this kind sits at the centre of the Foundation's mandate: bringing the lived experience of children and young people into the rooms where decisions about them are made. Statements are delivered by young representatives themselves, most of them under twenty-five.
The full texts of related statements, submissions and reports are available in the documents library on the Publications page, where they can be filtered by category and year.
This article is part of the Foundation’s public record of its engagements and programmes.
