Scientists’ Coalition perspectives on articles of the Chair’s text
Summary
This document presents the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty's perspectives on draft articles in the Chair's negotiating text ahead of the INC5.2 session in Geneva, providing scientific input on key provisions of the proposed global plastics treaty including production controls and pollution reduction measures.
Abstract The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) on plastic pollution are United Nations member states who will convene for the second part of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee in Geneva (INC5.2) 5-14 August, 2025 to negotiate a global plastics treaty. The Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty (‘The Scientists’ Coalition’) is an international network of independent scientific and technical experts who have been contributing robust science to treaty negotiators since INC1 in 2022. The Scientists’ Coalition established a series of working groups following INC5.1 in Busan, Korea 25 November – 1 December 2024. Each working group has produced science-based responses to the selected articles of ‘the Chair’s text’ (the latest version of the draft global plastics treaty text). This Letter to the Editor summarises those responses.
