News / #Global Plastics Treaty
Plastic treaty stalls despite 100 nations pushing for deal, as lobbyists outnumber larger delegations and negotiations spill over into ‘INC-5.2’.
UN talks fail to produce a global plastics treaty in South Korea as waste levels become unmanageable.
Negotiators aim to reconvene the talks next year. Observers say oil-producing nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia had frustrated attempts to forge a legally binding deal, while UNEP describes global commitment to ending plastic pollution as "clear and undeniable".
Governments conclude talks in South Korea on the final terms of a global treaty to end plastic pollution.
