SUMMARY:INC-5.2 Pre-event: Trade at the core of the treaty - data\, investm
 ent\, services and consumer information
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:As negotiations for a global plastics treaty advance\, trade is
  proving to be a powerful – yet often overlooked – tool to address pla
 stic pollution. This session\, hosted by UNCTAD and facilitated by the For
 um on Trade\, Environment and the SDGs (TESS)\, explores how trade-related
  policies\, data\, investment\, services\, and consumer information can su
 pport a shift toward a more circular and less polluting plastics economy.I
 NC-5.2 refers to the second part of the fifth session of the Intergovernme
 ntal Negotiating Committee (INC-5.2)\, focused on developing a global lega
 lly binding instrument on plastic pollution. It is scheduled to take place
  in Geneva from August 5 to 14\, 2025.  The meeting is a continuation of 
 efforts to reach a global treaty to address plastic pollution\, including 
 in the marine environment\, following the initial INC-5 session in South K
 orea in late 2024. REGISTRATIONINDICO REGISTRATION (MANDATORY FOR UN BUIL
