The Business Coalition has developed a roadmap to guide negotiators on the potential outcome for an agreement at INC-5.2.
In our 'Treaty On A Page' proposal we highlight the critical elements for governments to align on as an ambitious starting point and combine these with a process for further strengthening the treaty through future decisions at Conference of the Parties (COP).
The Business Coalition would like to see a process for further strengthening the initial treaty through future decisions at Conference of the Parties.
This requires UN Member States to retain a full lifecycle approach in the Global Plastics Treaty covering all relevant aspects of the UNEA resolution 5/14, without the need to decide on all details at INC-5 in Busan.
