A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution's development of an international binding agreement, which is expected to be completed at its Fifth Session in Busan, Republic of Korea in December 2024.

SRES 893 is a Senate resolution expressing the Senate's position on upcoming UN negotiations for a global plastic pollution agreement. It urges the U.S. to lead efforts toward a binding international agreement that protects human health and the environment, addresses plastic pollution across its full lifecycle, and aligns with U.S. economic and security interests. The resolution specifically calls for U.S. leadership at the December 2024 UN meeting in Busan to advance science-based targets, ensure shared responsibility among nations, and strengthen transparency in the agreement. As a resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect any individuals or entities; it serves only as a statement of the Senate's preferred approach to international negotiations on plastic pollution.
