The Stockholm Convention Celebrates Its Anniversary: Twenty Years Ago It Came into Effect
On May 17, 2004, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) came into effect, representing a significant milestone in global environmental protection efforts. The Czech Republic, along with many other countries, became a signatory to this agreement and actively participated in efforts to eliminate these hazardous substances. Today, after two decades of intensive international cooperation, we commemorate this important milestone and reflect on the positive impact the convention has had on human health and the environment worldwide.
