We need a strong agreement that will match the scale of the crisis\u2014the Global Plastics Treaty must cut plastic production by at least 75% by 2040. The health, environmental and climate impacts of plastic pollution are getting more extreme, and weak, non-binding targets or a half-baked treaty will not cut it. Our world leaders, especially those in the HAC, must show courage in Busan and choose people and the planet over the fossil fuel industry\u2019s ruthless quest to produce more plastics for short-term profits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United States, which is not part of the HAC, recently announced its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/shift-us-backs-global-target-reduce-plastic-production-source-says-2024-08-14\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">support of a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">global treaty<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to limit the amount of plastic produced yearly, including global criteria for phasing out harmful chemicals and avoidable plastic products. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/environment\/plastic-pollution-is-growing-relentlessly-as-waste-management-and-recycling-fall-short.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global plastic production doubled from 2000 to 2019, reaching 460 million tonnes (Mt) per year.<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciel.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Reducing-Plastic-Production-to-Achieve-Climate-Goals_Sept21_V5.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without action, it is anticipated to nearly triple by 2050<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and consume 13% or more of Earth\u2019s remaining carbon budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American leadership remains critical to delivering a strong Global Plastics Treaty as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the beleaguered petrochemical industry has continued to exert pressure on the development of legislation at the national and multilateral levels that would favor maintaining current production levels while pushing false solutions such as chemical recycling and jeopardizing the climate.
