End Plastic Pollution Global Dialogue

The time to address the plastic crisis is NOW.Current efforts to address the crisis are fragmented and tend to focus on downstream measures.

For several years, plastic pollution has been a major concern raised at the UN Environment Assembly (UNEA). In the run-up to the third session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, the momentum toward the establishment of an international legally binding instrument is stronger than ever. Considering the multi-faceted and transboundary nature of plastics, constructive dialogue needs to be fostered across governments, civil society organizations, scientific community, academia, and international organizations.

CSE’s End Plastic Pollution Global Dialogues: Perspectives from Thought Leaders – a series of multi-stakeholder dialoguesaiming to stimulate discussions and reinforce further engagement amongkey actors in the Global South - from opinion leaders to policymakers to the common citizens who are actively rethinking the way we produce, use, trade, distribute and manage plastics.

The first in the series of dialogues to be held in September shall prioritize whatthe member state submissions should talk about and present pathways to support coordinated approaches that can lead to more efficient global decision making to comprehensively address plastic pollution.

Important note: This event is aimed at building knowledge and awareness.CSE will not provide any certificate for attendance.
