The secretariat also conducted an online multi-stakeholder survey from 7 October 2022-2 December 2022 to collect feedback to help inform OEWG deliberations, particularly on the principal functions and operational aspects of the panel.
The survey was sent to a wide range of stakeholders through the designated national focal points and stakeholder focal points, as well as the focal points to relevant multilateral agreements (i.e., Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions and Minamata Convention), other international instruments (i.e., the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management, SAICM) and intergovernmental bodies (i.e., United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP, the World Bank, International Labour Organization, ILO, etc.) and major stakeholder groups. In total, 381 stakeholders from close to 100 countries responded to the survey.
Results of the survey were summarised in document UNEP/SPP-CWP/OEWG.1/INF/6.
