ASH joins the Stop Tobacco Pollution Alliance in attending the fifth Intergovernmental Negotiating Conference (INC-5) of the United Nations Treaty to End Plastic Pollution in Busan, Republic of Korea from November 25 – December 1, 2024. ASH’s Chief Operating Officer Liz Furgurson will share updates and progress here for our community to stay engaged and informed.
Saturday, November 30, 2024 – We’re disappointed to report that Observers were unable to participate again today as all sessions were Informal Consultations for Member States only. We understand that yet another new version of text will be available at some point this evening. We’ll provide the link as soon as we have it.
There is a lot of speculation on how these negotiations will end – our team is working to secure information as quickly as we can and more importantly, advocate for our positions as opportunities arise.
The Plenary session is set to commence tomorrow morning at 10:00am.
As a reminder, Plenaries are Live Streamed from UN Television – this could be historic.
