United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Global Partnership for Air Transport and Fate Research (UNEP MFTP) is a UNEP activity aimed at accelerating the development of sound scientific information to address uncertainties and data gaps in global mercury cycling and its patterns, enhancing the sharing of such information among scientists and policymakers and providing the technical assistance and training to support the development of critical information. The partnership was established in 2005 led by Italy, and its members include Canada, Japan, South Africa, and the United States, along with Electric Power Plant Institute (EPRI), Natural Defense Council (NRDC), AMAP (Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme) Mercury experts and UNEP. The achievements of this partnership have been summarized in the areas of emission estimation, monitoring of mercury, and regional and global-scale modeling.
