IUCN and IUCN WCEL contribution for enhancing “Ecosystems, Biodiversity and Human Health” in the Global Plastics Treaty and support for negotiators during Activities leading up to INC-5.4 – Legal Brief
Plastic pollution is one of the fastest-growing drivers of biodiversity loss, undermining ocean health, human well-being, and the potential of a circular plastics economy and a sustainable blue economy. The future international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution – the Global Plastics Treaty – presents a historic opportunity to address one of the most pervasive drivers of environmental degradation worldwide.
Taking into consideration the discussions at the INC informal in-person meeting of Heads of Delegation to the INC, 30 June – 3 July 2026, Nairobi, Kenya and to support negotiators and stakeholders likewise for the INC Activities leading up to INC-5.4, IUCN and IUCN World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL) issued a new legal brief with the following two components:
- How to enhance “Ecosystems, Biodiversity and Hunman Health” in the Treaty text.
- How to answer to the the Guiding Questions by the Chair, at the INC informal in-person meeting of Heads of Delegation to the INC, 30 June – 3 July 2026, Nairobi, Kenya
