NO This presentation provides a concise update on the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) process to develop an international, legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution. It recalls UNEA resolution 5/14 and its mandate, outlines the INC timeline from 2022 to the planned INC-5 in November–December 2024, and notes the diplomatic conference to follow. It summarizes outputs to date, including the zero draft and the revised draft text (UNEP/PP/INC.4/3) structured in six parts with possible annexes, and highlights Ottawa’s INC-4 focus on textual negotiations.
