Plastic pollution is one of the most visible and harmful environmental challenges of our time. Despite growing international awareness and emerging treaties such as the proposed Global Plastics Treaty, progress is hampered by weak enforcement mechanisms and the absence of legal accountability for large-scale environmental harm.
This session will explore how the recognition of ecocide as an international crime can provide a powerful legal framework to support anti-plastics policies, treaties, and global reduction efforts.
