South Africa is making significant contributions to the global fight against plastic pollution by participating in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee’s fourth session (INC4) in Ottawa, Canada. With a deep understanding of the harmful impacts of plastic pollution on land, water, and marine ecosystems, South Africa is committed to implementing strategies that bolster waste management services, encourage recycling systems and raise public awareness through cleanup campaigns. The country’s negotiation strategy is fortified by its Constitution’s pledge to safeguard an unspoiled environment and protect it from plastic pollution.
