In its resolution 5/8, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) decided that a science-policy panel should be established to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste and to prevent pollution. UNEA further decided to convene, subject to the availability of resources, an OEWG to prepare proposals for the science-policy panel, to begin work in 2022 with the ambition of completing it by the end of 2024.
The inaugural 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 1.1) was held on 6 October 2022 in Nairobi, Kenya, in a hybrid format.
At its first session, the group considered procedural matters, including the establishment of a its Bureau as well as budget and resources. The OEWG adopted the UNEA rules of procedure for the conduct of its work.
The first session was resumed from 30 January-3 February 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand (OEWG 1.2).
