As lobbyists flood plastic treaty talks, negotiators must uphold the rule of law to prevent corporate capture, including existing guidelines to stop the tobacco industry — a major source of plastic waste — from influencing policies.
The region can shape the Global Plastics Treaty if it maintains its momentum from COP16, where the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia called for the inclusion of Indigenous peoples rights and stronger collaboration on biodiversity finance.
Investing in nature is essential to addressing the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution while fostering global economic resilience.
Asean states need to unite on a common stand to beat plastic waste, but national and local efforts matter too.
