| Abstract |
In June 2023, the second session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including the marine environment concluded. It provided an opportunity to gauge the progress made by States and other stakeholders towards agreeing on the potential objective and treaty architecture of a future plastics treaty which is planned to be agreed upon by the end of 2024. This brief intervention outlines the developments made, as well as potential contentious issues that have arisen in relation to procedural and substantive aspects of the negotiations. It also reflects on key highlights. |
