April 14, 2024 — Ahead of the fourth round of United Nations negotiations (INC-4) aiming to create a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty, nearly 30 U.S. environmental organizations representing over 15 states and territories have called on the Biden administration to intensify efforts to combat plastic pollution around the world.
In their letter to the administration, the groups outlined how the U.S. is particularly well-suited to become a leader in plastic reduction and how the timing of INC-4, taking place 23 to 29 April in Ottawa, Canada – nearly a year and a half after INC-1 – presents a perfect opportunity to take action.
