As part of our founding partnership of the Plastic Health Council, we will be bringing the scientists to the negotiating table in an official side event, ensuring the irrefutable linkages between human health and plastic chemicals is firmly in the minds of every member state through the negotiation process.

The third meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (Plastic Pollution INC-3), will take place at the end of 2023 at UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. 

This meeting is being held pursuant to the resolution adopted by the resumed fifth session of the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2), which requests the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Executive Director to convene an INC to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. 

We will update this page as more information becomes available.
