Guest: Arpita Bhagath, Plastic Policy Officer, GAIA Asia Pacific, Rayhan Dudayev, Senior Regional Campaign Strategist (Legal & Political), Greenpeace Southeast Asia
The world is trying to craft a legally binding treaty on plastic pollution, but not everyone agrees on what that should look like. As INC-5.2 negotiations resume in Geneva this August to hammer out The Global Plastics Treaty, deep divides remain over issues like plastic production, financing, and equity. Who’s pulling the strings, what’s stalling progress, and why does it matter for all of us? We speak to Arpita Bhagat (Plastic Policy Officer, GAIA Asia Pacific) and Rayhan Dudayev (Senior Regional Campaign Strategist (Legal & Political), Greenpeace Southeast Asia) to dive into the politics, power plays, and potential of the global plastics treaty.
