The resolution (5/14) requested the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to convene an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop \"the instrument,\" which is to be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastic, including its production, design and disposal. The INC began its work during the second half of 2022, with the ambition to complete the negotiations by the end of 2024. The first session of the INC (INC-1) took place in Punta del Este, Uruguay from 28 November to 2 December 2022, followed by a second session (INC-2) from 29 May to 2 June 2023 in Paris, France, and a third session (INC-3) from 13 to 19 November 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya. The fourth session (INC-4) took place in Ottawa, Canada, from 23 to 29 April 2024.  Part one of the fifth session (INC-5.1) took place in Busan, Republic of Korea, from 25 November – 1 December 2024.","categories":["Meetings & Events","Conferences","Intergovernmental Negotiating

Baez","affiliation":"INC","affiliation_full":"INC","group":null,"function":"Chair"}}],"topics":[{"key":"treaty-scope","label":"Treaty Scope and Full Life Cycle","description":"Debate over whether the plastics treaty should address the full life cycle of plastics—from polymer production and product design to waste management, releases and existing pollution—or focus more narrowly on plastic pollution. Speakers also raised concerns about how the scope should relate to other multilateral environmental agreements and existing mandates."},{"key":"health-impacts","label":"Health Impacts of Plastic Pollution","description":"Several speakers emphasized that plastic pollution is not only an environmental issue but also a public health issue, citing exposure to chemicals, microplastics and nanoplastics across the plastics life cycle. This included calls for a strong health article and recognition of risks to children, women and vulnerable communities."},{"key":"just-transition","label":"Just Transition and Equity","description":"Delegations and observers stressed that the treaty should support a just transition that protects workers, waste pickers, indigenous peoples and communities disproportionately affected by plastic pollution. This topic also included broader equity issues such as common but differentiated responsibilities, national circumstances and support for vulnerable states."},{"key":"waste-remediation","label":"Waste Management and Remediation","description":"Speakers discussed obligations on plastic waste management, releases and leakages, and the cleanup of existing plastic pollution, especially in the marine environment. Many argued that an effective treaty must go beyond prevention to include remediation and stronger systems for collection, recycling and environmentally sound management."},{"key":"plastic-production","label":"Plastic Production and Supply Measures","description":"Many statements focused on whether the treaty should include binding measures to reduce production of primary plastic polymers or regulate supply to sustainable levels. Supporters argued production controls are essential to ending pollution, while others warned such measures could harm development, trade and national policy space."},{"key":"products-chemicals","label":"Plastic Products and Chemicals of Concern","description":"A major topic was the need for binding rules on problematic plastic products and hazardous chemicals in plastics, including possible phase-outs, annexed lists and product design requirements. Delegations differed over how far the treaty should go in banning or restricting products and chemicals and how those lists should be developed."},{"key":"finance-implementation","label":"Finance and Means of Implementation","description":"Delegates repeatedly discussed the need for predictable, adequate financing, along with technology transfer, technical assistance and capacity building to enable implementation, especially in developing countries, SIDS and LDCs. Proposals included a dedicated multilateral fund or financial mechanism linked to the treaty’s level of ambition."},{"key":"implementation-governance","label":"Implementation, Compliance and Treaty Governance","description":"Another recurring issue was how the future treaty should operate after adoption, including reporting, national plans, compliance mechanisms, effectiveness evaluation, scientific or subsidiary bodies and COP decision-making. Delegations linked these governance tools to whether the agreement would remain effective, adaptable and enforceable over time."}]}}
