A deep dive into the Rotterdam Convention
- Description
- Reviews
The course serves as a ‘one-stop-shop’ that provides an overview of the breadth of available resources on the Rotterdam Convention. It covers the methodologies used for listing banned or severely restricted chemicals and severely hazardous pesticides formulations and it explains how these chemicals are traded. In doing so, the course looks at the Resource Kit, the Final Regulatory Action (FRA) Evaluation Toolkit, the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) Pesticide Registration Toolkit, the Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedure, among others, enabling the learner to better navigate and understand the scope and the purpose of these resources.
This course provides an in-depth learning experience, systematically covering the mechanisms and provisions of the Convention. It explores in detail key concepts and processes – for example, step by step completion of an import response form – and covers topics such as Annex II criteria, provisions on custom codes and labelling, among others.
A passing grade of 70% or more to the final quiz qualifies for a certificate of completion from the course. Only 3 attempts per quiz.
