Today marks a pivotal moment as 179 nations gather at the UN in Geneva to address the pressing issue of plastic pollution. This summit aims to negotiate a legally binding treaty, often referred to as a ‘Paris Agreement for Plastic Pollution’. The urgency of this meeting stems from the alarming rise in plastic waste, which threatens marine life and ecosystems worldwide.
Delegates are discussing strategies to reduce plastic waste and improve recycling efforts. The treaty aims to set clear targets for nations to follow, ensuring a unified global response to this environmental crisis. Each country’s commitment will be crucial to the success of the treaty, as collaboration is essential to creating lasting change.
