The 4th of 5 UN summits to end Plastic Pollution was held in Ottawa from April 23 to 29th.

Delegates from 176 countries met to further negotiate the “Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution”, which is set to be finalized by the end of 2024, after the final session in Nov/Dec.

The process of negotiation is mired in the details of processes, responsibilities, and accountability, not to mention how it will move forward.

Our question to you! Is Canada doing enough to end plastic pollution? Will Canada set its own targets and commit solutions without waiting for the Global Treaty?

❓ We ask you - is Canada doing enough?
