Global negotiations to limit plastic pollution fall apart at UN
Description
August 15, 2025
After nearly two weeks of negotiations, talks to curb plastic pollution with a legally-binding treaty have collapsed. More than 100 countries in Geneva demanded limits on production and toxic chemicals, but oil-producing nations wanted to focus on "recycling and waste management" instead. Vincent McAviney breaks down the impasse and the risk of yet another failed round of plastic talks.
