Will nations agree treaty to cut plastic production?
Talks to agree the first global treaty on combating plastic pollution are set to begin on Tuesday, and limiting plastic production is a key point of contention. Dozens of countries, campaign groups and researchers say that legally binding cuts to plastic production, which is running at about 460 million tonnes a year, are the only way to deal with the problem. However, many other nations, including producers of fossil fuels that are used to make most plastics, want the treaty to instead focus on improving the collection and recycling of plastic waste. The discussions in Geneva, scheduled to run until 14 August, are titled INC-5.2 because they are the second part of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, part of the UN Environment Assembly. More than 170 nations and hundreds of organisations are taking part in the talks, which ended in gridlock over the issue of production limits during the first part of the fifth session, in Busan, South Korea, in late 2024. Beyond waste management Prof Bethanie Almroth, co-coordinator of the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty, which is pressing for production limits, said studies had shown that improved waste management 'will not suffice' in dealing with plastic. 'The amount of plastic being produced is not manageable by the infrastructure that exists or will exist in the future,' said Prof Almroth, a plastic pollution researcher at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. According to figures published by the World Economic Forum, the amount of plastic produced each year could rise to 1.7 billion tonnes by 2060. Prof Almroth said a proposed 40 per cent cut in annual plastic production by 2040, put forward by Rwanda and Peru, would be insufficient to prevent continued plastic pollution. Environmental organisations have previously called for a 75 per cent reduction in production. Economic vs environmental costs Pollution is created across the life cycle of plastic, including during production, so improvements in recycling would not be enough to end environmental harms, according to Prof Almroth. Concerns have been raised over lobbying by fossil fuel and plastic producers at gatherings to finalise the treaty. Prof Almroth said there was disinformation and misrepresentation of scientific findings, making it harder for delegates to come to decisions. She acknowledged that a shift away from fossil fuels and their use to produce plastics would have an economic cost, but said 'the costs of inaction will be greater' and efforts to find alternatives would create new business models. While describing herself as 'realistically optimistic' about the outcome, Prof Almroth said the way that negotiations were proceeding by consensus could derail efforts to cut plastic production. 'There's a risk of watering down negotiations to the point where the treaty might lack effectiveness,' she said. 'Plastic pollution is urgent. Delaying further would allow the problem to grow.' Groups have formed during the negotiations, notably the 'high-ambition coalition', which includes more than 60 nations such as Norway, Rwanda, Peru and the UK that support a legally binding treaty with production limits. By contrast the 'like-minded group', which contains nations such as Saudi Arabia and China, is pressing for a treaty that focuses on dealing with plastic waste. Among the organisations pushing for a treaty that mandates production limits is Greenpeace Mena. Its lead plastics campaigner, Farah Al Hattab, said during a media briefing that plastic was 'strangling our soil, our water, our air'. While calling for 'ambitious objectives' on the reuse of plastics to be adopted, she suggested that a focus simply on ways to improve how plastic waste was dealt with risked the adoption of 'fake solutions'. 'This treaty should be legally binding,' she added. 'Other treaties that are not legally binding have problems with implementation.' In the Mena region, communities could look back to traditions to find ways of cutting out plastic, Ms Al Hattab said. 'We can stop using single-use plastic. Our ancestors used containers from glass and clay,' she said. 'If we promote clean-up initiatives, we can help reduce plastic pollution, but this takes time and money.' An estimated 20 million tones of plastic ends up as waste in the environment each year, according to reports. Studies have shown that this can be harmful to a wide range of wildlife including turtles and seabirds in the UAE. Pieces of plastic waste break down into microplastics, which have been found around the globe, including in polar regions far away from large human populations, and in human tissue. Microplastic impact on health A study published in Nature in July indicated that more than 16,000 chemicals have been used in plastics, at least 4,200 of which could be harmful to humans or the environment. The study reported that potentially harmful chemicals were present even in food packaging. One of the study's authors, Dr Zhanyun Wang, a scientist at Swiss research institute Empa, said when the study was released that to create 'a safe and sustainable circular economy for plastics' it was necessary to simplify their chemical composition. The British Plastics Federation, a UK trade association that represents organisations such as plastics producers and recyclers, said it favoured 'an ambitious treaty that covers the whole life cycle of plastics'. While stating that plastic 'has no place in the open environment', the organisation added that it should continue to be used 'where it provides the best environmental outcome and offers clear benefits'. 'Plastic has a strategically important role in vital infrastructure, such as the distribution of fresh food and water, in developing clean energy and in defence,' the federation said in a statement. While it said it would continue to 'provide every support required' to the British government team at the conference, the federation added that plastic helps to reduce carbon emissions by limiting the weight of transported items and by cutting food waste. 'The treaty needs to be impactful while not hampering the ability of the UK, and the world, to be innovative, achieve net zero and avoid the worst effects of climate change,' its statement added. The federation did not respond to an enquiry about whether it supported limits on plastic production.

Eritrea: President Donald Trump sends message to President Isaias Afwerki
President Donald Trump has sent a letter to President Isaias Afwerki, on 30 July this week, underlining that he is 'reversing the negative, harmful damage of the Biden Administration around the globe'. In his message that also expressed appreciation for President Isaias' letter of congratulations of November last year for his election as the 47th President of the United States. President Trump referred to his Administration's readiness to re-establish a respectful and productive national relationship between the US and Eritrea 'based on honesty, respect, and opportunities to improve peace and prosperity across the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea'. As it will be recalled, President Isaias Afwerki had sent a warm message of congratulations to President Donal Trump in November last year on his 'historic comeback and election as the 47th President of the United States at very crucial time when global peace is of paramount importance more than ever before'. President Isaias had at the time expressed his hopes that President Trump's 'election will open a new chapter of fruitful and constructive ties of cooperation between Eritrea and the United States'.

Trump hits more countries with steep tariffs, markets tumble
U.S. President Donald Trump's latest wave of tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners, including Canada, Brazil, India and Taiwan, sent global stock markets down on Friday as countries pushed for talks to clinch better deals. Trump's new tariff rates include a 35% duty on many goods from Canada, 50% for Brazil, 25% for India, 20% for Taiwan and 39% for Switzerland. The presidential order listed higher import duty rates of 10% to 41% starting in seven days for 69 trading partners, effectively taking the U.S. effective tariff rate to about 18%, from 2.3% last year, according to analysts at Capital Economics. Global shares stumbled, with the STOXX 600 down 1.3% at its lowest in a month. U.S. stock index futures were down 1%, indicating a drop at the start of trade on Wall Street later. Futures tied to Canada's main stock index slipped. The market response was not as volatile as April's global asset declines, said Wei Yao, research head and chief economist in Asia at Societe Generale, referring to the market slide after Trump's initial tariffs announced on April 2. "We are all getting much more used to the idea of 15-20% tariffs being manageable and acceptable, thanks to the worse threats earlier," she said. But Trump's tariff rollout comes amid evidence they have begun driving up prices. U.S. Commerce Department data released Thursday showed prices for home furnishings and durable household equipment jumped 1.3% in June, the biggest gain since March 2022. NO WINNERS? Countries hit with hefty tariffs said they will seek to negotiate with the U.S. in hopes of getting a lower rate. Switzerland said it would push for a "negotiated solution" with the U.S. "It's a massive shock for the export industry and for the whole country. We are really stunned," said Jean-Philippe Kohl, deputy director of Swissmem, representing Switzerland's mechanical and electrical engineering industries. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te said the new 20% tariff rate for the island was "temporary" and that he expected to reach a lower figure. South Africa's Trade Minister Parks Tau said he was seeking "real, practical interventions" to defend jobs and the economy against the 30% U.S. tariff it faces. Southeast Asian countries breathed a sigh of relief after the U.S. tariffs on their exports that were lower than threatened and levelled the playing field with a rate of about 19% across the region's biggest economies. Thailand's finance minister said a reduction from 36% to 19% would help his country's economy. "It helps maintain Thailand's competitiveness on the global stage, boosts investor confidence and opens the door to economic growth, increased income and new opportunities," Pichai Chunhavajira said. Australian products could become more competitive in the U.S. market, helping businesses boost exports, Trade Minister Don Farrell said, after Trump kept the minimum tariff rate of 10% for Australia. But businesses and analysts said the impact of Trump's new trade regime would not be positive for economic growth. "No real winners in trade conflicts," said Thomas Rupf, co-head Singapore and CIO Asia at VP Bank. "Despite some countries securing better terms, the overall impact is negative." "The tariffs hurt the Americans and they hurt us," winemaker Johannes Selbach said in Germany's Moselle Valley. "Thousands of families who produce wine in Europe and thousands of families in the importing, wholesaling, retailing, restaurant business in the U.S. are dependent on the flow from both sides," he said, adding jobs and profits would be hit. Goods from all other countries not listed in Trump's executive orders will face a 10% U.S. import tax. Trump had previously said that rate might be higher. The administration also teased that more trade deals were in the pipeline. CANADA, INDIA, CHINA The Republican president has tapped emergency powers, pressured foreign leaders, and pressed ahead with trade policies that sparked a market sell-off when they were first announced in April. Trump's order said some trading partners, "despite having engaged in negotiations, have offered terms that, in my judgment, do not sufficiently address imbalances in our trading relationship or have failed to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national-security matters." Trump issued a separate order for Canada that raises the rate on Canadian goods subject to fentanyl-related tariffs to 35%, from 25% previously, saying Canada had "failed to cooperate" in curbing illicit narcotics flows into the U.S. The higher tariffs on Canadian goods contrasted sharply with Trump's decision to grant Mexico a 90-day reprieve from higher tariffs of 30% on many goods to allow time to negotiate a broader trade pact. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was disappointed by Trump's decision, and vowed to take action to protect Canadian jobs and diversify exports. India is in trade talks with the U.S. after Washington imposed a 25% tariff on New Delhi, a move that could impact about $40 billion worth of its exports, an Indian government source with knowledge of the talks told Reuters on Friday. China is facing an August 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with Trump's administration. A U.S. official told reporters that they are making progress toward a deal. The European Union struck an agreement on a blanket 15% tariff with the U.S. at the end of July. (Additional reporting by Amanda Cooper; Writing by Ingrid Melander. Editing by Jane Merriman)
