International Scope

Noelle Selin
Project description: I am working with MIT’s International Policy Laboratory, providing scientific information to inform global policy makers as they implement the Minamata Convention on Mercury. The treaty entered into force in 2017.
Goal: I am hoping to inform the "effectiveness evaluation" of the Minamata Convention, so that the treaty makes progress on addressing the problem of mercury in the environment. Ultimately, I'd like to show that action on mercury has lessened the problem of mercury and its impacts on human and environmental health.
