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) met most recently for the first part of the third session (OEWG 3.1), that took place from 17-21 June 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland, preceded by informal, regional and stakeholder consultations on 16 June 2024. At this session, the group established dedicated contact groups on (a) a foundational document; (b) work-programme-related matters; and (c) rules of procedure, financial procedures, and conflict-of-interest policy. As the group was unable to complete its work in June, the outcomes of this session will be taken forward to the resumed third session of the working group (OEWG 3.2), in view of finalising:
- Foundational Document and its related decision to establish the panel (UNEP/SPP-CWP/OEWG.3/6); and
- draft Rules of Procedure and its related decision to transmit this together with other draft procedures, policies and guidance in their current form to the first session of the Governing Body of the science-policy panel itself (UNEP/SPP-CWP/OEWG.3/7).
Delegates at OEWG 3.2 will also consider arrangements for the interim period between the Intergovernmental Meeting and the first session of the Governing Body of the Panel.
