BANGKOK — With months until crunch talks on the world's first binding treaty on plastic pollution, experts are meeting in Bangkok to discuss financing options and problematic plastics.The four-day gathering is a largely technical waypoint on the road to final negotiations in late November in South Korea's Busan.There, countries are hoping to seal a potentially groundbreaking deal to tackle the gargantuan problem of plastic pollution.
That shift has been welcomed by environmental groups, though Lindebjerg warned it was not yet clear if Washington would back mandatory caps or weaker voluntary limits.'Unresolved matters'Just how binding the deal will be is another source of contention.Some countries want measures like a unified timeline for phasing out certain plastics, while others back vaguer language that would let nations decide how and when to regulate.
