Current statistics from the Organisation of Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) also show that the region will produce almost six times more plastic waste in 2060 than it did in 2019. Tearfund says it based its analysis on the figures available on mismanaged plastic waste from the OECD report \u201cGlobal Policies Outlook: Policies to 2060\u201d, which was released on 21 June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The figures were revealed as governments prepare for the third stage of the UN plastics treaty negotiations in Nairobi, Kenya from Monday 13 November to Sunday 19 November 2023. The global treaty could be the first legally binding global agreement on plastic pollution. If negotiations are successful, the treaty could come into force in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Tearfund will be at the negotiations in Kenya and says it will push for governments to \u201cfully address\u201d the impacts of waste on people living in poverty. To do this Tearfund is calling for legally binding targets to reduce plastic production and scale up reuse solutions; support for waste pickers, including a \u201cjust transition\u201d; and mechanisms to ensure businesses and governments take action.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/new-analysis-claims-plastic-waste-spiralling-out-of-control-in-africa\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-420\/\">New analysis claims plastic waste \u201cspiralling out of control\u201d in Africa<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[698,575,761],"class_list":["post-118636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-africa","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118636\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
