The Stockholm Convention is key to addressing the global threats of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to humanity and the environment. It has been successful in identifying new POPs, but its national implementation remains challenging, particularly by low- and middle-income Parties. Concerted action is needed to assist Parties in implementing the Convention's obligations. This analysis aims to identify and recommend research and scientific support needed for timely implementation of the Convention. We aim this analysis at scientists and experts from a variety of natural and social sciences and from all sectors (academia, civil society, industry, and government institutions), as well as research funding agencies. Further, we provide practical guidance to scientists and experts to promote the visibility and accessibility of their work for the Convention's implementation, followed by recommendations for sustaining scientific support to the Convention. This study is the first of a series on analyzing policy needs for scientific evidence under global governance on chemicals and waste.
《斯德哥尔摩公约》是应对持久性有机污染物（POPs）对人类和环境的全球性威胁的关键。它在确定新的持久性有机污染物方面取得了成功，但公约在国家层面的执行仍然具有挑战性，特别是在低收入和中等收入缔约方中。需要采取协调行动，协助缔约方履行《公约》义务。本分析旨在确定并建议为及时执行《公约》所需的研究和科学支持。本分析针对来自自然科学和社会科学各个领域（学术界、民间社会、工业界和政府机构）的科学家和专家，以及研究资助机构。此外，我们还为科学家和专家提供了实用指南，以提高他们的工作在《公约》执行方面的可见度和可及性，随后提出了维持对《公约》的科学支持的建议。本研究是关于在化学品和废物全球治理下分析科学证据政策需求的一系列研究中的第一项。
