India Advocates Consensus and Development Rights at Nairobi Plastic Pollution Meeting
At the Nairobi Informal Heads of Delegation meeting, India expressed its willingness to contribute constructively to a global treaty addressing plastic pollution. Led by Permanent Representative Adarsh Swaika, India emphasized that decisions should be made by consensus and remain member-driven. The delegation advocated for the treaty to focus solely on plastic pollution, avoid overlap with WTO and WHO frameworks, and protect the right to development by opposing limits on primary polymer production. Implementation should consider national circumstances and follow Rio Principles.
