Description
The Latin America and Caribbean mercury storage project inception workshop aims to reduce the eventual supply of mercury to the biosphere by initiating a regional process that will support the sequestration of excess mercury in Latin America and the Caribbean. Specifically, the workshop aims to 1. Review an expert report on the anticipated quantity of mercury in Latin America and the Caribbean that will require sequestration, and share information about sequestration efforts in other countries and regions. 2. Discuss the options and issues to be considered for long term safe storage of excess mercury and make recommendations on the next steps following the workshop such as an in depth feasibility study. 3. Organize a regional support structure such as Advisory Committee (to be represented by an Executive Committee) that will consider the development of regional options for the sequestration of mercury such as a regional terminal storage facility for mercury, and facilitate the development of national policies consistent with the development of such a facility.
 
El taller de inicio del proyecto de almacenamiento de América Latina y el Caribe tiene como objetivo reducir la emisión eventual de mercurio a la biósfera mediante el inicio de un proceso regional que apoye la captura del exceso de mercurio en la región. Específicamente el taller tiene los siguientes objetivos: 1. Revisar el informe de un experto en donde se anticipan las cantidades de mercurio en América Latina y el Caribe que requerirían ser capturadas y compartir información sobre los esfuerzos realizados con este fin en otros países y regiones. 2. Intercambiar sobre las opciones y aspectos posibles a ser considerados para el almacenamiento seguro a largo plazo del exceso de mercurio y hacer recomendaciones para los pasos 2 siguientes luego del taller, como por ejemplo contar con un estudio de factibilidad más detallado. 3. Organizar una estructura regional de apoyo como un Comité Asesor (a ser representando por un Comité Ejecutivo) que considere el desarrollo de opciones regionales para la captura de mercurio, tales como instalaciones regionales para el almacenamiento de mercurio y facilite el desarrollo de políticas nacionales consistentes con el desarrollo de dicha instalación.
