Could it be true that countries from the UN Environment Assembly committed to negotiate a global plastic treaty over the next two years? And even if the treaty is signed…will it have enough teeth to make a difference to the plastic waste crisis that has persisted over the last decade here in Asia? In this episode, we speak with experts from Japan, New Zealand, and Indonesia about whether the UN can do for plastic what the Paris Agreement has done for climate change.
This new three episode season is co-produced by the China Environment Forum with support from The Japan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership.
Guests:
Trisia Farrelly, Massey University, New Zealand
Linda Yanti Sulistiawati, National University of Singapore, Singapore and Indonesia
Michikazu Kojima, Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia, Japan
