The ISC actively contributes to intergovernmental negotiation treaty meetings on plastic pollution to share its expertise and to ensure that the voice of science is heard throughout the treaty negotiation.
The international community is taking steps to address the pressing issue of plastic pollution by organizing negotiation talks on the creation of a legally binding treaty. The hope is that the treaty, once finalized and implemented, will have far-reaching effects in addressing the problem of plastic pollution, which is affecting not only our oceans but also the land and the health of humans and the environment.
The International Science Council (ISC) has been contributing integrated scientific inputs through policy briefs and statements. The Council is supporting the engagement of scientists across the natural and social sciences to be part of the deliberations and share the latest scientific evidence.
