As part of the preparation for the third session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee , the AGN is organizing regional consultations at Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, Uganda, October 16 to 18, 2023.

In response to the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) resolution 5\/14, the AGN was established by the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) to coordinate Africa&#8217;s interests in the intergovernmental negotiating committee. The group has been working diligently to articulate the continent&#8217;s priorities, striving for unified and coordinated approaches to global plastic waste reduction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>About the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>UNEP is the leading global voice on the environment. It provides leadership and encourages partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>About t<\/strong><strong>he Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The resolution (5\/14) mandated the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) to convene an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) for the development of &#8220;the instrument,&#8221; designed to adopt a comprehensive approach covering the entire life cycle of plastic, including production, design, and disposal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The INC embarked on its mission in the latter part of 2022, with the ambitious goal of finalizing negotiations by the end of 2024. The inaugural session of the INC (INC-1) convened in Punta del Este, Uruguay, from November 28 to December 2, 2022, followed by the second session (INC-2) held in Paris, France, from May 29 to June 2, 2023.
