Pure Earth’s Strategic Frameworks on Lead and Mercury through 2030

As a leading global non-profit addressing toxic pollution, in 2020 we decided to sharpen our focus in the next decade and increase our impact with a new strategic direction. Our teams have piloted multiple approaches, built extensive networks and have accumulated much experience in how to cleanup and prevent further exposures to toxins with limited resources/in resource-constrained environments.  In 2023, we updated the frameworks for our two major program areas.
