The sixth global dialogue to focus on enabling mitigation solutions in the waste sector, including through circular economy approaches.
The co-chairs would like to encourage Parties, observers and other non-Party stakeholders to submit their views on opportunities, best practices, actionable solutions, challenges and barriers relevant to the topics of the dialogues via the submission portal as early as possible, ideally by 31 March 2025 for the fifth global dialogue and by 30 June 2025 for the sixth global dialogue respectively, and no later than four weeks before each dialogue, in order for us to share the agenda well in advance.

Looking ahead to 2026, the co-chairs intend to, through the selection of the topic, focus the work programme towards industrial processes and product use, while giving careful consideration to and taking into account submissions from Parties, observers, and other non-Party stakeholders to be received in early 2026.
