Global Plastics Treaty #INC2 Outcomes:

*Delegates mandated the INC Secretariat to prepare a zero-draft of the treaty in advance of INC-3.
* INC3 scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya in November 2023, to work on a Zero draft.
* Committee welcomed offers to host INC-4 by Canada (Ottawa April 2024) and INC-5 by the Republic of Korea towards the end of 2024.

The options paper from INC2 will inform the ‘zero draft’, the text with legal language that will form the blueprint of the final treaty.

An important decision will be what kind of treaty: a treaty focused on global obligations, where every country needs to comply with an international set of standards (like the Montreal Protocol or Minamata Convention)? Or should it be a treaty that relies on nationally determined measures, where countries set their own goals and targets (like the Paris Agreement)?

I also focussed on Australia's role, which adopted a high ambition for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty.
