Global plastics treaty negotiations: Success is still possible, researchers argue

Plastic pollution is causing severe problems worldwide. However, negotiations at the United Nations in Geneva last August did not result in the expected global plastics treaty. On 7 February 2026, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) on Plastic Pollution will reconvene in Geneva to elect a new chairperson. In order to secure an agreement, the new chairperson must urgently reform INC procedures, argue researchers.

There is a date for INC-5.3! But, it is only for "administrative purposes with the focus on election of officers including for the position of Chair". It will take place in Geneva on 7 February, immediatedly after the first session of the ISP-CWP (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution).
