SUMMARY:Meeting | Intergovernmental negotiating committee (INC) on Plastic Pollution
DESCRIPTION:ISWA will join the INC-2 meeting in Paris this May. \nIntergovernmental negotiating committee (INC) to develop a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution\, including in the marine environment. \nIn February 2022\, at the resumed fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2)\, a historic resolution (5/14) was adopted to develop a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution with the ambition to complete the negotiations by end of 2024. \nThe instrument is to be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastic. The INC will consider how to promote sustainable production and consumption of plastics from product design to environmentally sound waste management through resource efficiency and circular economy approaches. \nThe rapidly increasing levels of plastic pollution represent a serious global environmental issue that negatively impacts the environmental\, social\, economic and health dimensions of sustainable development. Under a business-as-usual scenario and in the absence of necessary interventions\, the amount of plastic waste entering aquatic ecosystems could nearly triple from some 9–14 million tonnes per year in 2016 to a projected 23–37 million tons per year by 2040. \n  \n			 \n				\n				\n				ISWA will be participating with a Side event on the margins of INC-2: Key elements from solid waste and water management perspectives to beat plastic pollution\, as well as an official side event on the topic of Enabling change at local\, national\, and regional levels. \n \n			 \n			 \n				\n				\n			 \n				\n				\n				\n				\n				More Information on INC
