| Introduction |
 |
The
Strategic Plan for the implementation of the
Basel Convention (available in HTML, PDF and WORD formats) is
the blueprint adopted by Parties in 2002 to
give effect to the 1999 Basel Declaration on
Environmentally Sound Management. It established
priorities in terms of policy and programmes,
selected priority waste streams and projects.
The fundamental aims of
the Basel Convention are the control and reduction
of transboundary movements of hazardous and other
wastes subject to the Basel Convention, the prevention
and minimization of their generation, the environmentally
sound management of such wastes and the active
promotion of the transfer and use of cleaner
technologies, according to the Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Plan was
established to cover the period from 2002 to
2010. COP9 decided to extend its implementation
until a new Strategic Framework is adopted by
COP10 in 2011. Therefore, decision IX/3 set up
a system to develop the new Strategic Framework,
driven by Parties, and requested Parties, signatories,
the regional and coordinating centres and others
to submit comments on developments and obstacles
in the implementation of the current Strategic
Plan to the Secretariat. This will facilitate
the development of the new Strategic Framework. |
