After two years of negotiations, around 200 nations failed to reach a legally binding treaty to combat plastic pollution at a recent UN-backed summit in Busan, South Korea. While significant progress was noted, particularly on issues like production limits and harmful chemicals, opposition from a handful of oil-producing countries hindered agreement. The talks highlighted the urgent need for global action as plastic production is set to increase significantly, exacerbating environmental and health issues related to plastic waste.
