[2024.05.03]
The fourth session of the Plastics Intergovernmental Negotiation
Committee (in Ottawa, Canada) concluded around 04:00 am on 30th
April 2024. There were enormous number of issues that require further
negotiations before the fifth session of INC (INC-5) to be held in Pusan,
Republic of Korea starting late November 2024, and thus INC-4 agreed to hold “Intersessional Ad-hoc Open-ended Expert Groups”
to address technical issues. According to IISD’s ENB,
these Groups are expected to address;
= develop an analysis of potential sources and means that
could be mobilized for implementation of the objectives of the instrument
develop an analysis of potential sources and means that could be mobilized for
implementation of the objectives of the instrument including options for the
establishment of a financial mechanism, alignment of financial flows, and
catalyzing finance; and
= analyze criteria and non-criteria-based approaches, with
regard to plastic products and chemicals of concern in plastic products and
product design, focusing on recyclability and reusability of plastic products
considering their uses and applications.
INC-4 also agreed to convene a “Legal
Drafting Group” which will be held at INC-5, and thus it
will be dealing only legal textual correctness, not the remaining substantive
provisions of the final draft of the “instruments”.
Additional points are
contained in my personal summary.

近況：
2020年6月30日をもって（公財）地球環境戦略研究機関（IGES）から離れました。といっても、過去5年ほどは、形だけは「参与」でしたが、これは肩書だけ、給与や勤務義務など一切なし、でしたから、実質は、何も変わっていませんが。。今後とも、温暖化問題や、UNEP等の国際的環境活動について勉強し、情報共有を続けてまいります。
