At the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP), which was held in Geneva from 1 to 12 May, the European Union (EU) advocated for a reduction in hazardous waste, organic pollutants and the illegal trade in toxic chemicals and waste.
At the top of the agenda were the Rotterdam, Stockholm, and Basel Conventions, which regulate the handling and trade of chemicals and waste. The EU is trying to lead by example in these areas and make the global trade in waste more sustainable. Furthermore, it wants waste procurement practices to be optimised.
In addition, the EU proposed internationally binding agreements on plastics, pollution, e-waste, vehicles, and textiles during the COP.
