Summary

Currently, with more than one hundred and fifty countries expressing support for starting negotiations on a global agreement on plastic pollution following the next meeting of the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA 5.2) in 2022, focus has shifted towards the consideration of what such an agreement may entail. This report follows a series of publications by the Nordic Council of Ministers on a potential global agreement on plastic pollution and will elaborate on and assess a proposed mechanism: international sustainability criteria for the life cycle of plastic products.
