"Following years of discussions, support for a global treaty to stem the tide
of plastic pollution is now widespread, with 75% of UN member states backing
the idea.
Next week, countries will negotiate two competing resolutions in the lead-up to
the UN Environment Assembly. Both resolutions call for the establishment of an
intergovernmental negotiating committee to start work on a legally binding
treaty.
The negotiations are a crucial moment for the New Zealand government. More than
750 groups — including civil society, Indigenous peoples, trade unions and
youth groups — are calling for a binding treaty that captures the full life
cycle of plastics."
