  5. Ellen MacArthur Foundation – A New UN Treaty to Address Plastic Pollution

A new UN treaty to address plastic pollution would provide the framework for building the relevant capabilities and institutional mechanisms for increased international coordination and cooperation to solve this crisis.

Realising a circular economy for plastics (and beyond) is also crucial to address climate change and biodiversity loss.

The costs of inaction increase year-by-year, if we fail to work towards a global solution.

By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean. A global circular economy approach is needed for plastics.
