Information brief

Biodiversity in the Future Global Plastics Treaty

香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Commission on Environmental Law (香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 WCEL), Fauna & Flora, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) present an information brief within the framework of the Geneva Beat Plastic Pollution Dialogues Road to Busan event series, and ahead of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-5). The brief presented concrete textual options with biodiversity-positive language within , including a standalone article.

**A one-page version of this brief is available here.**

The ILBI will regulate plastic pollution and related topics which intersect in part with several other MEAs. This is not unusual or legally problematic as long as the terms used in the ILBI are carefully tailored to avoid conflicting obligations for State Parties. Thus, language supporting coherence and authorising international cooperation between the ILBI governance system and those of other treaty regimes, especially the CBD, will be critical for ensuring synergies benefitting biodiversity and people, and reducing plastic pollution.

In this regard, three options would be beneficial for inclusion in the final ILBI text:

  • Option 1. At a minimum, maintain specific language in articles to draw out biodiversity protection and community inclusion, and mainstream the term 鈥淏iodiversity鈥 and/or 鈥淓cosystems鈥 across a number of relevant articles in the ILBI, based on the Compilation of draft text of the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (), issued by the INC Secretariat on July 1, 2024.
  • Option 2. Add specific biodiversity language in the 鈥淚nternational Cooperation鈥 Article to further strengthen coherence with other MEAs.
  • Option 3. Insert a dedicated, new article on 鈥淏iodiversity Aspects鈥 that promotes implementation and compliance to advance nature positive approaches under international and national laws, and facilitates future COP decisions.
