Groups Say They’re Shut Out Of Plastics Treaty Talks In Bangkok

"Experts meet in Bangkok this week to advance what would be the first international treaty to tackle the surging problem of plastic pollution. Final treaty negotiations take place in South Korea in November.

Marcy Trent Long — SEJ Board Candidate 2024
