A fifth and final round of negotiations for a global treaty to end plastic pollution is taking place in Busan, South Korea. Delegates from 175 countries have just one week to meet a two-year deadline set by the United Nations in Nairobi in 2022.

The fifth Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5) session is happening days after the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) ended in Baku, Azerbaijan, with a bad deal.
