Stockholm Convention
Alright kiddo, so the Stockholm Convention is like a big club where different countries from all around the world get together to talk about a very important thing - how to keep our planet safe from pollution and toxic chemicals.
You know how we always talk about keeping our rooms clean and tidy? Well, it's a bit like that, but on a much bigger scale! See, when people make and use things like cleaning products, pesticides, electronics, and even some clothes, they can create chemicals that aren't good for the environment or for us to breathe in.
So, the Stockholm Convention makes rules and agreements between the countries to make sure that these chemicals are safely made, used, and disposed of. That way, we can all live in a healthier and cleaner world!
It's like the grown up version of getting everyone in your class to agree to put their toys away at the end of the day, so that nobody trips over them and gets hurt. Only instead of toys, it's chemicals and instead of your class, it's the whole world!
