Supporting global dialogues We continued to provide knowledge and convening support for the ongoing INC process to establish an international legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution at INC-5.1 in Busan and INC-5.2 in Geneva. GPAP’s programming at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 in January, the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Convention Conferences of the Parties in April and the United Nations Ocean Conference in June also aligned with key treaty discussions. In Busan, GPAP , together with the Financing Coordination Group and UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), organized the first informal Finance and Trade Day to discuss practical options for a financing instrument to support a global plastics treaty, as well as potential trade and investment considerations. The event brought together more than 100 government and business leaders and provided valuable insights ahead of negotiations. Ahead of the INC-5.2 discussions in Geneva in August, GPAP hosted Solutions Day, bringing together 145 senior leaders from business, government and civil society to highlight existing solutions and methodologies for financing plastic action and strengthening national policy-making.In partnership with the Government of Switzerland, GPAP led two successful ministerial visits to the PROP industrial reuse facility, showcasing the tangible outcomes of upstream investment in innovation and infrastructure. These visits took place alongside the BRS Convention COPs and INC-5.2, with the latter attracting more than 50 high-level participants. Both visits facilitated engaging discussions with ministers on drivers of upstream investment in plastics circularity, drawing from experiences across several NPAPs.GPAP actively supported multilateral efforts through insights, multistakeholder convenings and ministerial dialogues – helping shape a coherent global response to plastic pollution. The plastics treaty has the potential to serve as a transformative framework to achieve sustainable production and consumption patterns and to end plastic pollution. A treaty with effective measures will help drive meaningful action. It would offer businesses greater predictability, trigger investment and speed up innovation towards a more sustainable future.
