In December 2024, over 170 countries gathered to conclude a global treaty to reach a plastic pollution-free world by 2040. While negotiations were inconclusive, the countries sought to complete the process in 2025, highlighting an urgent, time-bound need to bridge remaining areas of divergence.
What will it take to land the treaty to end plastic pollution and how can business and government be supported to tackle the issue in the interim?
This session from the Annual Meeting 2025 is linked to the ongoing work of the Global Plastic Action Partnership of the World Economic Forum.
