Plastic pollution: treaty talks get into the nitty-gritty
French President Emmanuel Macron issued a stark warning about the escalating threat of global plastics pollution, emphasizing the urgent need for a treaty to address the issue.
As diplomats gathered in Paris for talks on the treaty, Macron called for an end to the unsustainable production model, urging nations to prioritize reducing fossil-fuel based plastics and banning highly polluting products.
While environmental groups are hopeful, concerns remain about the specifics of the treaty, especially regarding the reduction of overall plastic production.
