Plastic Treaty Negotiations Fail With Countries Split Over Production Cuts

Relevance : GS 3(Environment )

  • Failed Agreement: Delegates from nearly 170 countries failed to agree on a framework to eliminate plastic pollution.
  • Divided Blocs: The main divide was between countries advocating for cutting plastic production and those opposing it.
  • Resumption of Talks: Negotiations will resume next year under the tentative banner of INC-5.2.
  • Disappointment: The European Union and other high-ambition countries expressed disappointment over the limited progress.
  • Economic Concerns: Countries like Saudi Arabia and India opposed measures to cut virgin plastic polymer production due to economic implications.
Conclusion:

The fifth round of negotiations on a global plastic pollution treaty ended without an agreement due to deep divisions between countries.
