Treaty Talks Struggle to Stop Plastic Pollution Crisis

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that global leaders have resumed negotiations on a legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution. Despite two years of discussions among 175 countries under a 2022 UN resolution, no agreement has yet been reached. McIntyre highlights the global scale of plastic contamination—from remote mountains to the human body—and the urgent hope that the upcoming talks will result in meaningful progress.
