UN Plastics Treaty Talks Once Again End in Failure

Despite Friday’s results, the plastic agreement does not seem to death yet. Virtually all countries have expressed interest in continuing discussions – European Union representative Jessica Roswal said that he would not accept “A steady agreement“ – And many people used their mic time to remind others of the risk of others during the completion plane.

“We cannot ignore the gravity of the situation,” said Madagascar’s negotiator. “Every day, our oceans and ecosystems and communities are suffering from the consequences of our inability to take decisions and consolidated steps.” Representatives of Tuvalu, Peptua Election Latasi said that failing to implement a deal means “millions of tonnes of plastic waste will be thrown into our ocean, which will affect our ecosystem, food security, livelihood and culture.”

Nevertheless, it is unclear whether more discussions will be fruitful – especially around the decision -making – without any changes in the format of the discussion format. “Sens -based decision -based decision -making means that the threat of a vote cannot be used to remove countries from their red line; if the decision is not made by the majority vote, this dynamic change is less likely to change.” This meeting has proved that Sens has died, “No problem.

Other non -profit and advocacy groups made the same issue when the Geneva raised the same issue, “Sens kills the Kammai ambition.”

One of the representatives of Fiji, Senimili Nakora, said during the closing plane, “It is appropriate to look forward to whether the Sens Camei moves forward is not if it stops the process.” Switzerland negotiator Felix Wartley said that “this process requires a timeframe,” and “one of these similar meetings may not bring the breakthrough and ambition.”

Other countries raised extensive concern about the “process” through which the discussion had gone ahead. The meetings were “non -transpeators,” “opaque,” and “vague”, they said during the plane, they probably mentioned the vague instructions received from the secretariat, the bureaucratic agency that organized the discussion.

Ingar Anderson, executive director of the United Nations Environment Program, told reporters on Friday that countries could explain their red lines more clearly. “Everyone needs to understand that this work will not stop, because plastic pollution will not stop.”

Plastic industries, which have been opposed to plastic production control and dangerous chemical groups, say it will support an agreement that “keeps plastic in the economy and outside the environment.” The International Council of Chemical Association Council Secretary Marco Mennsink said in a statement: “A missed opportunity to end the global deal to end plastic pollution, we will continue to support an agreement that works for all nations and can be implemented effectively.”

Environmental groups, scientists and frontline companies were disappointed to leave Geneva without an ambitious contract. They said it would have been worse, if countries decided to compromise The original provision as human health And a ”Just transform“Perhaps the worldwide recycling and waste management policies, including waste selection, are likely to be affected by the change of policies.

In situations, they praised the representatives for not agreeing to the final version of the chair of the chair. “I am very happy that a strong deal was given more priority than a weak agreement,” said Joe Banner, a US -based company.

On the contrary, the end of the fullness in Geneva was literally heard in the final moments of perfection. After making more than two hours of statements from national representatives, Valdiviso Mike turned the young, indigenous people, waste selection and others who had been present throughout the week and a half weeks. But only one speaker – from the Youth Plastic Action Network – the United States was able to make a statement in front of the United States and Kuwait and asked the Kuwait chair to cut them and finish the meeting.

The Plastic Agreement Secretariat is now setting a date and time for another round of discussion, which is unlikely to be until next year. In the meantime, all the eyes will be held in the UN environmental rally in December, where Anderson is expected to provide a report on the progress-or lack of its lack of discussion, and it can present an opportunity for countries to reduce the ambition of the agreement: the spelling of this statement is trying to achieve what the spelling is trying. Some environmental groups fear that Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia and others will try to change the mandate so that it does not refer to the “full life cycle” of plastic, but only plastic pollution – thus transforming the agreement into a waste management which transforms into a waste management which is the loss of plastic and environmental production.

The banner said he was not feeling defeated; In fact, the amount of plastic he is “more enthusiastic” than ever “to fight for legally compulsory restrictions on the world.

He added, “I’m planning to survive,” and to do it, “We need to stop production of plastic.”
