Summary of Our Project

About SRIREP

The Minamata Convention on Mercury (Hg) is a global treaty established to protect human health and the environment from the adverse effects of Hg. Recent investigations by the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) have highlighted the continuing significance of Hg pollution in developing countries and its harmful effects on human health and ecosystems. One of the main causes of Hg pollution is artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), in which Hg is used in the traditional method of amalgamation to extract gold from the ore rock. Recent investigations by UNEP have highlighted the enormity of Hg pollution in developing countries and its harmful effects on human health and ecosystems.

Global and growing problem of Hg pollution

Global Mercury emissions have no national or continental boundaries, it can travel a long distance in the atmosphere, and eventually settles into water or onto land where it can be washed into water.

Our research objectives and missions

One of our research objectives and missions is we will co-operate not only with the stakeholders but also with the private industries to introduce the environmental innovation and industrial innovation, and aim for the social implementation from our outcome. Moreover, the social economical evaluation method will also be developed.

Reduction of poverty and environmental pollution

Using transformative boundary objects (TBO) for enabling various interaction with stakeholders and mobilizing transdisciplinary communities of practice (TDCOPs) for acceleration of sustainable regional innovation.
