Briefing on the 1st Session of the Ad Hoc Open-Ended Working Group on the Science-Policy Panel to Contribute Further to the Sound Management of Chemicals and Waste and to Prevent Pollution

In its resolution 5/8, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) decided that a science-policy panel should be established to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution. UNEA further decided to convene, subject to the availability of resources, an OEWG to prepare proposals for the science-policy panel, to begin work in 2022 with the ambition of completing it by the end of 2024.
The ad hoc Open-Ended Working Group on the Science-Policy Panel (OEWG-1.2) will be held in person at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, from 30 January to 3 February 2023.
This event, held a few weeks ahead of the OEWG1.2 Session, will provide updates on the preparations of this important event and how stakeholders can engage in the process.
The event will take place in a hybrid format, both at the International Environment House I and online. Join us at the International Environment House I, Room 3 or online on Webex
