The debate centers around the creation of a dedicated plastics fund versus existing funding mechanisms, highlighting the need for adequate financial resources to enforce a global treaty.
The high-ambition coalition, backed by evidence, argues that reducing plastic production is crucial. Panama’s proposal aims for a global target to decrease production post-treaty.
Research indicates that over 16,000 chemicals are involved in plastics, with insufficient safety data for over 10,000 substances, necessitating stringent regulation in any treaty.
Despite support for global phaseouts of harmful chemicals by over 100 member countries, the draft treaty warrants minimal focus on the regulation of chemicals.
