How Can Policy and Regulation Support Safer ASGM Practices?
Effective policies and regulations are essential for promoting safer ASGM practices. This includes enforcing limits on mercury use, providing incentives for adopting safer technologies, and ensuring proper waste management. International agreements, such as the Minamata Convention on Mercury, play a crucial role in setting global standards and encouraging countries to take action. Capacity-building initiatives and international collaboration are also necessary to support local efforts.
