Negotiations in Geneva aim to finalize a treaty to combat plastic pollution, following previous unsuccessful talks. Over 100 countries support a legally binding agreement to reduce plastic production and phase out single-use plastics, while fossil fuel-producing nations resist these limitations. Experts warn that plastic pollution poses a significant threat to health and the environment, costing $1.5 trillion annually. The EU advocates for comprehensive regulation of the plastic lifecycle, while some countries push for consensus-based decision-making. Greenpeace demands a 75% reduction in plastic production by 2040. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
