The Scientists’ Coalition currently has over 300 members from 50+ different countries, covering a broad range of expertise. The members of the Scientists’ Coalition have endorsed the Scientists’ Declaration and proved a track record of working on plastics pollution. As subject matter experts, the members are organised in thematic working groups that work together to craft syntheses of the most recent scientific evidence on plastic pollution and potential solutions.
Coalition members must endorse the Scientists’ Declaration, prove a track record of working on plastics pollution, and complete our procedure to identify any conflicts of interest.

*Please Note: The Steering Committee and the Membership Review Panel of the Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty have agreed to pause new membership application reviews until after INC5.2.
Limited membership applications may be reviewed before INC5.2, however, if the Steering Committee consider an application ‘exceptional’. Exceptional circumstances for a new membership application could include, for example, that the application meets the Scientists’ Coalition’s immediate need for broader representation of countries, areas of knowledge, and other diversity criteria
