The Sixth Conference of the Parties (COP) of the Minamata Convention on Mercury (Mercury Treaty) will take place in Geneva from November 3-7, 2025. A number of important decisions will be discussed and are covered in these IPEN quick views.

In addition, IPEN will be seeking to raise two important issues that are not specifically on the agenda at COP-6. These two items are to amend the text of the Treaty to:

• End the legal global mercury trade, and
• Phase out artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) as an allowable use of mercury by 2032.

IPEN members will discuss these amendments with delegates, with a view to developing party proposals for text amendments to be included on the agenda at COP-7 in 2027.
