Explanation:

The BRS Conventions refer to the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions. All three deal with hazardous materials/chemicals/wastes. These are related also with protecting humans and the environment and consequently biodiversity, but the conventions as such are specifically related to the control/banning of the use/movement of hazardous wastes and chemicals.
Recently an inter-ministerial Indian delegation will participate in the 2017 COPs to the BRS Conventions. The three COPs to BRS Conventions will be held jointly and back-to-back from April 24-May 5, 2017 in Geneva, Switzerland. The theme of the meetings and the high-level segment will be – “A future detoxified: sound management of chemicals and waste”. While the Basel Convention will discuss the control of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal, the Rotterdam Convention will deliberate on the prior informed consent procedure for certain hazardous chemicals and pesticides in international trade and the Stockholm Convention is on persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
