How (not) to Make a Plastics Treaty - Part II: Drama and Delay
What happened at the INC-2 in France? Recap 2/3. The negotiations for the global plastics treaty are haunted by major issues that have long stalled progress on other problems as well, like climate change and biodiversity loss. To understand what’s happening, Anja teamed up with Magnus Løvold, an expert in diplomacy and international law. Magnus was present at all the meetings of the Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee for the plastics treaty - the so-called “INC”. Here comes the second part of their recap of plastic diplomacy: They take you to Paris in the summer of 2023, where the second negotiating meeting took place, to learn what happened there. A note: If you haven’t listened to our recap of the first INC in Uruguay, we recommend to go back an episode and start listening there.
