Addressing multiple stressors: Arctic science and the Stockholm Convention

The science on multiple stress is growing, but has it been translated into policy?

AMAP – Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme; POPs – Persistent organic pollutants; UNEP – United Nations Environment Programme; NGO – Non-governmental organisation; POPRC – Persistent organic pollutants review committee; COP – Conference of the parties. Both POPRC and COP are organised under the Stockholm Convention.
