Briefing on the Preparations for the First Plenary Session of the Intergovernmental Science and Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution : Road to ISP CWP P1
This pre-session briefing will provide essential logistical updates and practical information to help participants get ready for the first plenary session (P1) of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution (ISP-CWP), taking place in Geneva from 2 to 6 February 2026.
Confronting the interconnection of chemical pollution and climate change
Climate change and chemical pollution are interdependent planetary threats, but climate change mitigation efforts typically do not consider chemicals and materials. This may exacerbate chemical pollution and associated harm to human and environmental health. Because most chemicals and materials are currently derived from petrochemicals, the extraction of fossil fuels cannot be limited without transitioning chemical manufacturing to different carbon sources. However, simply changing the carbon source is insufficient and could exacerbate the biodiversity crisis.
