United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Secretariat of the Basel Convention (SBC) Strategic Plan and Ministerial Statement The Ministerial Statement acknowledges the importance of focusing on four policy directions, namely: hazardous waste minimization, life-cycle approach, integrated waste management, and regional approach.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Secretariat of the Basel Convention (SBC) Strategic Plan and Ministerial Statement The Ministerial Statement identified the following waste streams as requiring priority attention in the context of partnerships. These are: –POPs wastes –E-wastes (electrical and electronic wastes) –Household wastes mixed with hazardous wastes –Biomedical and healthcare wastes –Used lead-acid batteries –Used oils –Ship dismantling Emphasis on partnership with Parties and non-Parties, industries, NGOs, academia, and local governments/municipalities to implement relevant activities and through mobilization of extra budgetary resources
