💨 Abstract

In Geneva, 175 nations are attempting to finalize a landmark treaty to combat global plastic pollution. The sixth round of negotiations focuses on reducing plastic production, a contentious issue with oil-producing nations resisting cuts. Supporters, including small island states and major companies, argue that production limits are essential, while opponents prefer emphasizing recycling and reuse. The treaty aims to address the full life cycle of plastics, but disagreements over production limits, voting procedures, and treaty obligations persist.
