NEW DELHI: Ahead of the final stage of talks at the UN Global Plastics Treaty, researchers urgently call for governments to collaborate to address plastic pollution through measures that reduce production and prioritise human health.
Through open letters and articles published in scientific journals, the researchers, such as those from Germany’s Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research and Canada’s Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, demand a binding United Nations plastics treaty grounded in science, justice and bold political will.
The second part of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee — titled ‘INC 5.2’ — is scheduled for August 5 to 14, 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland. The first part took place in Busan, South Korea, in November-December 2024.
