Opinion / #Global Plastics Treaty
The treaty negotiations risk repeatedly stalling unless the decision-making process is overhauled, argues INC-5 observer Terese Teoh.
Restricting primary or virgin plastic production would constrain economic growth and industrialisation, India argued at the recent plastic treaty talks. But its opposition to production caps may turn out to be more damaging than beneficial.
The UN should hold a vote in Geneva if countries try to water down plastic pollution deal.
Addressing the global crisis of maritime plastic pollution will require mobilising investment and support to reduce the production of single-use plastics, increasing the lifespan of plastic objects and promoting reuse and reparability.
