In this episode of the Sunita Narain show, we discuss the final stages of the global agreement on plastic pollution, which she describes as an "indestructible plague", at INC 5.2, held at Geneva, Switzerland.

She explains that this new treaty is vital because the current approach of relying on recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is not effective enough.

Arguing that the treaty must address the entire lifecycle of plastic, focusing on "upstream" solutions like minimizing plastic production and "midstream" solutions like banning toxic chemicals used in manufacturing. The aim is to make products easier to manage and recycle.

Emphasize is that a successful agreement requires global cooperation and must be built on principles of equity and justice, bringing together developed and developing nations to ensure a shared, sustainable future.
