Five of the members from the Scientists’ Coalition at the Paris International Forum
We are delighted to announce that the Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty will be represented at INC-2 in Paris from May 28th – June 2nd.
Our 40 experts cover a broad range of expertise and look forward to engaging with Member States and all other stakeholders on the science underpinning the issue of plastics pollution and the solutions needed moving forward.
The Scientists’ Helpdesk for Negotiators
From Monday May 29th through Friday June 2nd we are trialling a “Scientists’ Helpdesk” for negotiators. Through the helpdesk, negotiators can confidentially ask questions and get direct responses from scientists with relevant expertise. The Helpdesk can help find the most up-to-date scientific evidence on specific issues and answer questions on terminology and scientific concepts. The Helpdesk is available here: www.linktr.ee/scientistscoalition
