national level, providing an opportunity for women’s and minority groups to more effectively influence their life environment. POPs, Governance and Macroeconomics Activities to address POPs issues can also contribute to strengthening governance structures and processes in programme countries. The Convention puts high emphasis on cross-societal governance and information structures enabling all stakeholders to be informed and participate in the POPs reduction and phase-out processes. The POPs enabling activities planned will serve to establish or improve the structures for regulating chemicals, an increasingly important and complex health and environmental problem area. Establishment and/or strengthening of such systematic structures can play a key role in facilitating tackling of other national priorities such as municipal waste management. The cost-benefit approaches advocated for POPs reduction and phase-out will further nourish a governance culture where decision-makers are increasingly making the best use of limited resources. At a macroeconomic level the consequences of POPs exposure may also be significant. For instance, the demands placed on already stretched resources for basic services, like health care, are further increased. POPs can impact both the quality and quantity of agricultural output and in some cases entire sectors of industries, like fisheries, can be irreversibly affected. POPs and the Environment The environmental benefits of the phase-out and elimination of POPs are also clear. Ample evidence exist on the devastating toll of persistent contaminants on wildlife. In many parts of the world, POPs have been shown to disrupt sexual development and to diminish reproductive abilities of exposed species. Some sensitive species have disappeared altogether because of total reproductive failure linked to chemicals on the POPs list. The linkage between reducing POPs and preserving biodiversity is strong both at individual species as well as at ecosystem levels. Linkages relating to Energy and Environment are also prominent particularly in the context of the POPs dioxins and furans, un-intentional byproducts from combustion and energy intensive industry. Integrated approaches to urban development issues such as cleaner industial production and minimization of municipal, hospital and other waste must be elements of any successful strategy to reducing and ultimately eliminating POPs. UNDP and POPs The discussion above demonstrates clearly that concerted global action on POPs will provide significant benefits to the key constituencies and customers of UNDP, the poor in the UNDP-GEF POPs Resource Kit----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19
developing world. Strong linkages to the UNDP focus areas of Gender, Governance and Environment are also evident. Tackling the POPs problem needs to be part of a broadly coordinated strategy to help lift the poor out of poverty, and avoid the downward spiral of decreased livelihoods, health and environmental problems caused by exposure to POPs. For UNDP, POPs pose both immediate and long-term challenges and opportunities towards pursuing and promoting its goal of sustainable human development. A portfolio of well-designed interventions aimed at assisting programme countries in implementing the Stockholm Convention will positively contribute to each of the major focus areas of UNDP. 20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UNDP-GEF POPs Resource Kit
