Ep 112: Ending plastic pollution: setting the agenda for a UN treaty

With the second round of negotiations for a UN treaty to end plastic pollution underway, in this episode we’ll explore how the INC-2 event taking place in Paris this week marks a crucial stage in the negotiations. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF has convened the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty to bring together businesses and financial institutions committed to supporting the development of an ambitious, effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution. We’ll hear from Eirik Lindebjerg, Global Plastics Policy Manager at WWF, and Carsten Wachholz, Business Coalition Secretariat Co-Lead at the Foundation, about the recommendations the Business Coalition has made, and why a treaty is so important.
