The fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to advance a plastics treaty (INC-5) was meant to deliver what would be the final text of a future plastics treaty.
A small bloc of petrostates stalling negotiations and trying to dilute ambitions towards the lowest common denominator.
Fossil-fuel producers once again succeeded in stalling progress.
The U.S. refused to push beyond voluntary measures and answer the call to join the more than 100 countries calling for legally binding measures.
Voluntary measures would do little to effectively address the harms from plastic pollution.
We need more than words on a page, we need bold measures that will solve the plastics crisis.
