Informal Dialogue on Plastics Pollution and Environmentally Sustainable Plastics Trade

In advance of the first Informal Dialogue on Plastics Pollution and Environmentally Sustainable Plastics Trade meetings for 2022, TESS convened an informal meeting among relevant stakeholders.

This informal meeting provided an opportunity for the co-coordinators of the Informal Dialogue on Plastics Pollution (the Dialogue) to update stakeholders on the proposed work-plan for 2022; for stakeholders to offer suggestions on the Dialogue's implementation of the Ministerial Statement issued in December 2021; and to exchange information on policy developments and ongoing activities that are relevant to the work of the Dialogue.

TESS provided presentations at the Dialogue meeting of 18 March on both Aid for Trade for plastic pollution and possible amendments to the World Customs Organization's Harmonized System that could support trade policy efforts to reduce plastic pollution.
