Our organisations welcomed UNEA-5’s adoption of resolution 5/8 in March 2022, and the decision to establish a Science-Policy Panel to contribute further to the sound management of chemicals and waste, and to prevent pollution. This statement supports earlier comments made for OWEG 1.1 and the need for the ‘health and ecological burden of conflict pollution’ to be addressed.
