NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Science-Policy Panel to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution.

The venue of the second session of the ad hoc open-ended working group on a science-policy panel to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution (OEWG-2) was changed from Dead Sea, Jordan, to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya.

The meeting will be held on the original dates, that is, 11 – 15 December 2023. All participants should plan to arrive in Nairobi in time for the briefings and consultations being held on 9 and 10 December 2023 at the same venue, as these events will aim to support the discussions at OEWG-2.

The meeting will be held as an in-person meeting and conducted in the six official languages of the United Nations. The meetings of the Plenary will be live-streamed.

Participants whose registration to OEWG-2 had already been approved remain eligible to participate in the meeting. The same event pass can be used for the new venue.

Al participants should communicate any changes in their delegation list directly to the Secretariat through a Note Verbale, sent to spp-cwp@un.org.
