Plastics on the peak: Eliminating releases of plastic waste to air, water and land in mountainous regions

Online
From: 23.05.2023 to: 23.05.2023

Austria and Georgia, in collaboration with Norway and Rwanda as the Co-Chairs of the High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution, will co-host a webinar titled "Plastics on the peak: Eliminating releases of plastic waste to air, water and land in mountainous regions" with speakers from the United Nations, government, civil society, science and the private sector. The event will take place on Tuesday, 23 May 2023 at 13.00–14.30 CEST.

This webinar provides opportunities for Member States and stakeholders to highlight and discuss why plastic pollution in mountainous regions is important, and how the specific challenges of these regions can be considered within the intergovernmental negotiating committee process to develop an international legally-binding instrument on plastic pollution, including proposals for elements in the treaty to eliminate releases of plastics to water, land and air; waste management; and remediation of legacy plastic waste.

The webinar will be facilitated by GRID-Arendal and the United Nations Environment Programme.
