The EU reaffirmed its commitment to science-based multilateralism at the first plenary of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution (ISP-CWP), held in Geneva from 2–6 February. The panel, part of the global science-policy architecture alongside the IPCC, IPBES, and IRP, aims to address gaps in international environmental governance by providing authoritative assessments on chemicals, waste, and pollution. The EU supported the panel’s establishment, emphasizing the need for shared evidence and scientific integrity in policymaking. The plenary focused on establishing governance frameworks and work programs to guide future assessments. The EU also participates in the IPBES plenary in Manchester, highlighting its role in advancing evidence-driven environmental policies. The ISP-CWP seeks to strengthen global cooperation on pollution reduction, aligning with EU priorities such as the Zero Pollution Action Plan and Circular Economy Action Plan.
