Progressing towards an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, and ahead of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5) in Busan, Republic of Korea, the INC has established two Ad Hoc Intersessional Open-ended Expert Groups.
The expert groups have each commenced their work with three virtual meetings starting from 16 July, ahead of in-person meetings in Bangkok from 24 to 28 August. These are not negotiating nor decision-making meetings under the INC and are not part of an INC session, but are established to inform and help advance the work of the INC.
The outcomes of the expert groups’ work and final participant lists will be posted on the INC website after the meetings take place.
