Our Partner INRAE Brings Scientific Knowledge to the Negotiations of the International Treaty to End Plastic Pollution

The final negotiating session of the International Treaty to end Plastic Pollution will take place in Busan, South Korea, from 25 November to 1 December 2024. ICEBERG’s partner organization INRAE brings the voice of research to the table by communicating scientific knowledge about plastic pollution and its impact on human health and the environment.

The next and final negotiating session of the International Treaty to end Plastic Pollution will take place in Busan, South Korea, from 25 November to 1 December 2024, at the 5th meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5), under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Muriel Mercier-Bonin from ICEBERG’s partner INRAE attends the negotiations along with her French colleagues to accompany and inform the negotiators of the scientific facts on plastic pollution.

“Our role will be to communicate scientific knowledge about plastic pollution and its impact on human health and the environment, by meeting with delegations from Member States, particularly those from French-speaking countries, who sometimes have difficulty accessing scientific knowledge because of language barriers,” says Muriel Mercier-Bonin.
