Description:
The rapidly increasing levels of plastic pollution represent a serious global environmental issue that negatively affects the environmental, social, economic and health dimensions of sustainable development. In February 2022, at the resumed fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly, a historic resolution was adopted to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution with the ambition to complete the negotiations by end of 2024. The session will review effects of EDCs from plastics in the endocrine system and the current state of the Plastics Treaty negotiations.
