Greenpeace is undertaking a Global Tour focusing on the sources of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The tour has visited Latin America, North West Europe, the Mediterranean Region, South East Asia and is currently in Latin America. The tour will finish in Stockholm at the final treaty negotiations in 2001.

More information on regional and international POPs negotiations can be found in our POPS politics section.

The Toxic Hot spots logo in the top bar of this site leads to a global map of the world's POPs hot spots.
