After two years of intense negotiations, the 5th session to agree on a UN Global Plastic Treaty concluded on December 1, 2024. The process will now continue, and the Treaty, once agreed, will have widespread implications for plastic law around the world, as well as the businesses, activists, journalists, lawyers, and many others working on plastic issues.
On December 12, 2024, Plastic Pollution Coalition held a discussion with legislative, advocacy, and media experts about the UN Plastic Treaty, and the importance of continuing to advance and track plastic policy at all levels. One critical tool to monitor progress and implementation is the Global Plastic Laws database and resource center, which was also presented.
Joining the discussion was Dr. Jamala Djinn, Science/Policy Advisor, Break Free From Plastic; Jennifer Gleason, Law Program Director, Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide; Shane Trimmer, District Director at the U.S. House of Representatives – Office of Rep. Jared Huffman (CA-02); and Joseph Winters, Staff Writer, Grist. The webinar was moderated by Madison Dennis, Project Manager, Plastic Pollution Coalition.
