Global Negotiators Work Towards Draft Treaty to End Plastic Pollution
Representatives from 175 nations are meeting in Paris to develop a draft treaty to address the global plastic pollution crisis. The aim is to create a legally binding agreement that covers the entire lifecycle of plastics, from production to disposal. The treaty is seen as a crucial step in tackling the growing problem of plastic waste, which is projected to triple by 2060. However, there are differing opinions on how to address the issue, with some countries advocating for limits on plastic production and restrictions on certain chemicals, while others focus on recycling and country-specific rules.
