In the morning, informal consultations focused on a potential capacity-building function. In the stocktaking session, countries heard updates and established a contact group on the organization of work. The discussion included the progress in the contact group on scope and functions; considering the outcome of informal consultations with the Secretariat on resource mobilization efforts, the budget, and a provisional work plan (UNEP\/SPP-CWP\/OEWG.1\/6); and establishing a contact group on timelines and a work program for the Open-ended Working Group (OEWG).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The focus points are given below:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u2022 Resource mobilization efforts<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u2022 Budget<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u2022 A Provisional workplan<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u2022 Establish a contact group on timelines<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u2022 Developing a draft decision<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">All the delegates agreed, to establish a contact group to address the organization of work with a mandate to: develop a draft decision to guide the Secretariat in the organization of work, taking into account the outcomes of the contact group on scope and functions; agree on potential dates, locations, and format for the second and third OEWG sessions; and identify key issues to be discussed in those sessions. It was further requested that the contact group provide clear guidance to the Secretariat on the inter-sessional work, including documents and webinars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Delegates also addressed the relevant experiences from other science-policy bodies, stressing that funding has been a major constraint on capacity-building activities; whether production of new data for assessments or horizon scanning is needed or existing data will suffice; ways to take into account existing capacity-building initiatives and prioritize capacity-building needs without preempting future panel decisions; and ways to contextualize capacity building, including improving overall participation in future assessments. Discussions will continue in the contact group on scope and functions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/enb.iisd.org\/oewg1-2-science-policy-panel-contribute-further-sound-management-chemicals-waste-prevent-pollution-daily-report-1feb2022?fbclid=IwAR2ntAPJblh33Zn2MlVSCCOrGdhOF87Drj6-OvRoSwxxxpwXdNwmsOsdYWs\">https:\/\/enb.iisd.org\/oewg1-2-science-policy-panel-contribute-further-sound-management-chemicals-waste-prevent-pollution-daily-report-1feb2022?fbclid=IwAR2ntAPJblh33Zn2MlVSCCOrGdhOF87Drj6-OvRoSwxxxpwXdNwmsOsdYWs\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 1st February 2023, discussions focused on the objective, scope, and functions of the panel in a contact group that met throughout the day.
