Developing a Fast Action Fund to End Plastic Pollution

Negotiations to develop a Global Plastics Treaty are at a crossroads.

The Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) will convene in mid-2025 to attempt to consummate an agreement against the backdrop of an ever-worsening plastic pollution crisis.

Key outstanding issues in negotiations are the inclusion of upstream and midstream control measures and the overall design of a financial framework to support developing countries.

This briefing explores the role philanthropy can play in unlocking political will to get deal done and setting the early agenda, in particular via the development of a Fast Action Fund to End Plastic Pollution.
