Explained | What is the upcoming global treaty on plastic pollution?

The Hindu  

The story so far: On March 2, 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly voted to formulate an international legally-binding instrument by 2024 to end plastic pollution. The UNEA resolution to end plastic pollution establishes an intergovernmental negotiating committee which is expected to submit its draft agreement by 2024. The treaty will keep in mind national action plans and national and international cooperative measures towards achieving the goal of eliminating plastic pollution. “This call of India provided the momentum leading to significant action on plastic pollution around the globe, culminating in the historic resolution and its adoption,” Mr. Yadav said.
