Authors Summary
Holm presented the work of the intersessional steering group Pollution 2025 (SC69A/E/…). In order to address the Scientific Committee’s numerous recommendations related to the issue of chemical pollution and move forward with the work plan of the SG, the SG compiled information from scientific studies published in recent years. These studies were mainly provided by members of the SG, the participants of the workshop on cumulative effects and multiple stressors held in November 2021 (SC/68D/Rep/02). Many studies were conducted, mainly on exposure to chemical pollutants (heavy metals, trace elements, legacy and emerging chemical contaminants) and their effects on cetacean’s health, population parameters and other indicators. To assess cumulative risks of multiple stressors to populations, development of models and new methods are being pursued as are interdisciplinary collaborations, as well as co-production of knowledge with Indigenous and local stakeholders. It is recommended to update this kind of overview regularly.

Abstract
In order to address the Scientific Committee’s numerous recommendations related to the issue of chemical pollution and move forward with the work plan of the SG, the SG compiled information from scientific studies published in recent years (by members of the SG and others). Summaries of how this work responded to the recommendations follow and clarify the progress made in addressing each recommendation, including several made by the workshop on cumulative effects held in November 2021 (SC/68D/Rep/02). Only recommendations are listed for which answers could be provided yet. It is recommended to update this work regularly.
