Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution

The ‘zero draft’ of the UN plastic pollution treaty was published by the UN Environment Programme on September 4th 2023. It sets the stage for the upcoming treaty negotiations in November. 

​​​​While the draft offers many effective solutions that can help put an end to the plastic crisis, it also includes a variety of weaker options. 

We need countries to dial up ambition and finalise a plastics treaty that is globally binding, with bans on high-risk, single use products, and requirements on product use that prioritises a full lifecycle approach and a just transition.
