Plastics pollution is a very visible, global environmental and health challenge, and last year the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) launched a process to draft a global treaty aimed at solving the problem.

Earlier this week, delegations from all over the world met in Nairobi to work on the first full draft of a treaty that could set binding rules that would affect the production, use and disposal of plastics.

To get a readout of what happened there, and what might happen next, we hear from Kwame Asamoa Mensa-Yawson, head of the Ghana National Plastic Action Partnership, a multistakeholder group looking at solutions to the plastics issue, under the auspices of the World Economic Forum.

Guests and links:

Kwame Asamoa Mensa-Yawson, head of the Ghana National Plastic Action Partnership

Bethanie Carney-Almroth, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty
