The fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Global Plastics Treaty (INC5) concluded today with an agreement to meet again for a final negotiating session to reach a deal.
Commenting on this, Sarah King, senior strategist at Greenpeace Canada, said:
“Although INC5 failed to reach an agreement, the opportunity to secure an impactful plastics treaty that protects people and the planet is still possible. Canada came to these talks with a desire for more, but now we must stay on course to support a meaningful agreement that prioritizes justice, reducing plastic production, and eliminating hazardous chemicals and products that put us all at risk. “Now is the time for governments with higher ambitions to take the spotlight and lead the next round of negotiations.”
