SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United Nations Environment Assembly
(UNEA) has been considering how to
combat ocean plastic pollution since its
first meeting in 2014. UNEA is expected
to discuss the possible launch of
negotiations to develop a new global
instrument to address this topic at the
second meeting of the fifth session of
UNEA (UNEA 5.2), tentatively
scheduled for February 28 to March 2,
2022.
The U.S. Government is considering
policy and legal issues related to this
process, and the Department is seeking
U.S. stakeholder input to inform our
deliberations, particularly on the
following questions:
• Should the United States support
the development of a global instrument
on ocean plastic pollution?
• If so, what should be the scope and
objective(s) of such an instrument?
What problem(s) or issue(s) should such
an instrument address?
• What should be the form of such an
instrument? For example, should it be a
legal instrument with legally binding
and non-legally binding provisions or a
voluntary instrument?
• Should it take a top-down structure
(i.e., common approach required for all
countries s) or a bottom-up structure
(i.e., common objectives but allowance
for flexible approaches to national
implementation)?
DATES:

Sfmt 4703
• What could be an impactful role for
stakeholders other than national
governments, such as sub-national
governments, industry, and civil
society, in connection with this
instrument?
• What other factors should be
considered in negotiating such an
instrument, such as the role of waste
management, the role of any financial
mechanism and/or technical assistance,
flexibility for national circumstances,
consideration of the full lifecycle of
plastics, and economic and
environmental impacts of alternatives to
plastic?
• What sorts of provisions would be
important or essential to include in a
global instrument focused on ocean
plastic pollution? What sorts of
provisions would be problematic if they
were included in such a global
instrument?
