Other good practices

Countries have identified good practices in implementing the Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents through communications beyond their national implementation reports. These good practices are compiled in the tables below. The Working Group on Implementation and the UNECE secretariat categorized these good practices into the theme in the first box. In addition, countries have reported on good practices through other UNECE projects, as listed in the second box. Click on each box to expand (or collapse) it into a table.
