Dr. Dan Korbel, Science Policy Lead at the Royal Society of Chemistry, shares his time at the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution in Paris. The purpose of this event is to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment with the ambition to complete the negotiations by the end of 2024. The instrument is to be based on a comprehensive approach that addresses the full life cycle of plastic.


Dan speaks with a variety of expert delegates, including Komal Sinha, Verra Director, Plastics & Sustainable Development Policy and Markets, and Professor Steve Fletcher, Professor of Ocean Policy and Economy.
