ADB Participation at the fifth Global Plastics Treaty (GPT) Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee Session (INC-5)
In March 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) adopted a resolution with the objective of ending plastic pollution. The aim is to draft an internationally binding agreement – or the Global Plastics Treaty (GPT) – on plastics by 2024, to be adopted by countries by 2025. The GPT’s main aim is to create a comprehensive framework that addresses all aspects of the plastic lifecycle from extraction to disposal.
