Episode 6: How to fight plastic pollution in rivers?
Plastic waste is a global issue – and large parts of it ends up in rivers. How could this be addressed in the UN Treaty on plastic pollution, that is currently being negotiated? Listen to our new podcast to learn about latest insights from the third round of negotiations which took place in Nairobi recently.
What is needed to phase-out plastic pollution? How can the international community support countries in the global South in addressing the problem? Which approaches and instruments were actually debated?
We discuss these questions with Per-Olof Busch, Senior Researcher at adelphi, who has followed the development of the treaty over the past years.
