The First Global Round Table on PRTRs was held on 19 November 2013 in  Geneva (Palais des Nations, Salle VII),  back to back with the third meeting of the Working Group of the Parties to the Protocol on PRTRs (20-21 November 2013). The event was organised under the auspices of UNECE and OECD, in cooperation with UNITAR. The round table took stock of successes and challenges in implementing the PRTR Protocol and PRTRs systems to date in order to create a snapshot which can guide future activities towards implementation of new PRTRs, and enhancements to existing PRTRs. For further information please check the latest press release.
