SUMMARY:The second session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution\, including in the marine environment
DESCRIPTION:The second session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution\, including in the marine environment (INC-2) will take place from 29 May to 2 June 2023 at the United Nations Educational\, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Headquarters in Paris\, France. The meeting will be preceded by regional consultations on 28 May 2023\, at the same venue. \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 an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution\, including in the marine environment with the ambition to complete the negotiations by end of 2024. The instrument is to be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastic. \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  \nSource: UNEP
