Two significant documents have emerged at the ongoing fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) being held under United Nations General Assembly (UNEA) aegis in the Canadian capital of Ottawa.
The documents have shed light on critical aspects of the ongoing negotiations for a global plastic treaty to end plastic pollution.
The first document, prepared by Rwanda and Peru, emphasises the need for a global target to reduce the production of primary plastic polymers. The second document, presented by Norway, outlines a comprehensive approach to identifying and regulating chemicals of concern in plastics.
Together, these documents serve as ‘north stars’ in the ongoing talks to end plastic pollution, especially for ‘upstream’ measures where member states stand more divided than ever before.
