Busan Summit: Leaders Battle the Plastic Plague

In Busan, 66 countries and the EU are hammering out a crucial treaty to tackle the global plastic crisis, with talks set to conclude in December 2024. This year alone, 220 million tons of plastic waste were generated, projected to soar to 400 million by 2060. While island nations demand stricter production limits, oil giants favor recycling—currently a meager 9%. Amid Donald Trump's opposition, the UN pushes for unity to save our planet and oceans.
