On Thursday evening, 185, representatives of countries gathered in Geneva could not agree with a mandatory resolution about the fight against plastic pollution. We will not have a plastic pollution agreement in Geneva, the representative of Norway summarized in a plenary meeting on Friday morning.
Earlier, India and Uruguay emphasized the helplessness of negotiators to find consensus. The new compromise document was presented on Friday on Friday, which is expected to clarify more than 100 points of the Resolution after 10 days of intensive negotiations (CNI5-2), but the heads of the delegations gathered for an unofficial session that could not reach an agreement. The future of negotiations seems to be blurred, noted AFP. Ugand called on a new negotiation session, and the EU member of the Jessica Rosvall environment said that Geneva created a good platform of Muslims to continue negotiating.
It is hoped that Ecuador Luis andias Valdiveso's diplomats, who presided over the negotiations in the previous diplomatic meeting at Busan of Korea at the end of 2024, will give a press conference, the United Nations said. His discussion method and the negotiation process were seriously criticized during the Geneva meeting, but, as prescribed, this often happened on the sidelines.
CNI5-2 negotiations, starting in Geneva on August 5, are expected to end at midnight at the local time on August 14. There are profound disagreements between the two camps encountered on this issue. EU, Canada, Australia, many Latin American countries, Africa and small caribbeans want to clean up the plastic planet, began to seriously affect human health and first reduce global plastic production. On the other hand, oil producing countries, leading the United States, does not want to give in and reject all limitations for hydrocarbon based on plastic industry and any ban on dangerous additives. And this has become the main stumble in the negotiations in Geneva.
