The Fate of Global Plastic Treaty

The fifth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC), tasked to put together a global set of rules for ending plastic pollution, ended on December 1, 2024. After protracted negotiations that had begun two years ago, the INC’s fifth meeting was expected to deliver a much-awaited treaty to address the global plastic pollution crisis. But it failed. It could only produce another version of the non-paper which is technically being termed as the Chair’s Text.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has had a ringside view of the negotiations since they started, and a CSE team of experts had keenly followed the fifth round of talks as well onsite in Busan. We bring them together here with some other global voices in an online debriefing -- to get an insight into what went wrong, the big wins and losses, where the negotiations are heading, and when can we expect the treaty to be delivered.
