- One will explore how harmonised criteria and standards for plastics could help drive down global plastic pollution if they were guided by independent science.
- The other will explain why evidence-based science is crucial to the success of the global plastics treaty. This discussion will link evidence-based science to the need for conflict-of-interest mitigation in science bodies, Indigenous knowledge, and human rights.
Through this side event, the Â鶹´«Ã½ has committed to providing evidence to enable evidence-based decision-making to protect ocean health and sustainability, including in the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and in the implementation of innovative responses to SDG14.
