The United Nations is set to approve a plan to create the world's first ever global plastic pollution treaty on Wednesday, describing it as the most significant green deal since the 2015 Paris climate agreement.
Member states have held talks for more than a week in Nairobi to agree the outline of a pact to rein in soaring plastic pollution, an environmental crisis that extends from ocean trenches to mountain tops.
"As we embark on this journey, let us be clear that the agreement will only truly count if it has clear provisions that are legally binding." Reuters reported on Monday that a draft resolution stated that the plastic treaty would be both legally binding and address the "full lifecycle of plastic", which could cover production and packaging design, as well as waste.However, the terms in the draft resolution are broad and a U.N. intergovernmental negotiating committee will now have to contend with countries and business interests that will interpret those words to their advantage, delegates said.
