💨 Abstract

Negotiators are discussing a draft treaty to tackle global plastic pollution. Key disputes revolve around limiting plastic production versus improving waste management and reuse. Around 100 countries advocate for production limits and addressing toxic chemicals, mientras que powerful oil and gas nations, along with the plastics industry, oppose these measures. The current draft focuses on reducing problematic plastic products and improving waste management but does not limit production or address chemicals.
