INC-5: A Turning Point in the Fight for an Ambitious Plastics Treaty

Date:


The tides turned at INC-5, and the way forward to an ambitious plastics treaty is now clearer than it’s ever been. At previous INCs, the majority of Member States showed willingness to compromise in the spirit of good-faith negotiations, even as petro-states used multiple tactics to delay and dilute progress towards a meaningful treaty. This time, they fought back.
