Archive ouverte UNIGE (University of Geneva) 2026

Summary

Researchers from the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty outlined the monitoring infrastructure and measurement standards needed to make plastic pollution tracking enforceable under a forthcoming global plastics treaty, emphasizing that without harmonized protocols, treaty compliance cannot be verified.

This policy brief addresses the challenge of monitoring plastic pollution in the context of the Global Plastics Treaty. It was developed by members of the Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty. All of the policy briefs within this series are published on Zenodo and can be found within the Coalition’s Zenodo Community: https://zenodo.org/communities/scientists_coalition/ More information about the Coalition (including contact information) is available on its website: https://scientistscoalition.org
