The second session of the ad hoc open-ended working group to prepare proposals for a science-policy panel to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution (OEWG 2) took place from 11-15 December 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya, preceded by informal, regional and stakeholder consultations from 9-10 December 2023.
Delegates agreed to the use of the “skeleton outline” approach proposed by the secretariat, laying out in a single view each of the proposals for the establishment of the panel. At OEWG 2, the group also agreed to consider UNEP/SPP-CWP/OEWG.2/INF/10/Rev.1, INF/10/Add.1 and INF/10/Add.2 as the basis of its discussions, and decided to establish four contact groups to address: (a) scope, functions, operating principles and conflicts of interests; (b) institutional arrangements; (c) work-related processes and procedures of the panel; and (d) intersessional work and budget in advance of the third session.
