Nairobi: Final day of the UN Environment Assembly.

Delegates are expected to agree on a roadmap for a global plastics treaty, a deal that could see countries agree for the first time to reduce the amount of single-use plastics they produce and use.

U.N. member states are hoping to agree on a full treaty within the next two years.

Reuters said that a draft resolution, entitled “End plastic pollution: Towards an internationally legally binding instrument”, said that the treaty should address “the full lifecycle of plastic”, meaning production and design, as well as waste. https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/exclusive-un-plastic-treaty-tackle-production-packaging-design-draft-resolution-2022-02-28/
