Quick Views: Science-Policy Panel OEWG3.2

In 2022, governments at UNEA-5 decided that a Science-Policy Panel (SPP) should be established to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution (see resolution 5/8). An ad hoc open-ended working group (OEWG) was established with the mandate to develop proposals for the panel.

The resumed third session of the OEWG (SPP OEWG-3.2) will be held in Punta del Este, Uruguay, from June 15-18 and will be followed by an Intergovernmental Meeting on June 20 where the SPP will be officially established.

See IPEN’s views on the development of the panel, below.
