COP-6 of the Minamata Convention on Mercury was a space for learning, listening, and building connections. For the Artisanal Gold Council (AGC) delegation, including Dawn Po Quimque, it offered time to engage with partners, exchange experiences across countries, and explore ways to strengthen collaboration in advancing mercury-free artisanal and small-scale gold mining.
