L’avant-projet de traité sur les plastiques est un document équilibré qui inclut l’ensemble des points
de vue exprimés par les gouvernements lors des INC-1 et 2; il fournit donc une excellente base des
négociations de l’INC-3. L’éventail des points de vue comprend des options à la fois faibles et fortes pour
chacune des mesures de contrôle et chacun des moyens de mise en œuvre, depuis la réduction de la
production de plastiques jusqu’au mécanisme de financement.
Policy briefing
El borrador cero del tratado de plásticos es un documento equilibrado que incluye una serie de
opiniones expresadas por los gobiernos durante los INC 1 y 2 y debería constituir la base para las
negociaciones del INC-3. Incluye opciones tanto fuertes como débiles para todas las medidas de control
y los medios de implementación, desde la reducción de la producción de plástico hasta un mecanismo de
financiación.
The plastics treaty zero draft is a balanced document that includes the full range of views expressed by governments during INCs 1 and 2 and should be the basis for negotiations at INC-3. This full range includes both strong and weak options for all control measures and means of implementation, from reducing plastic production to a financing mechanism.
While recognising and supporting the need to avoid duplication of mandates,institutions and resources between treaties, the new legally binding international instrument to end plastic pollution (“Plastics Treaty” or “the Treaty”) offers an excellent opportunity to highlight and fill gaps that either fall outside the scope of the Basel Convention or that the Basel Convention is not effectively addressing.
This submission provides detailed GAIA recommendations to orient intersessional work and global plastics treaty negotiations. It includes criteria and processes to set plastic production freeze and phasedown targets and schedules and their supporting measures, and a framework to identify high-risk plastic products and materials for priority action, as well as polymers and other chemicals of concern, among other issues.
