Switzerland: Environmental activists protest at U.N. headquarters against plastic pollution

In Switzerland, environmental activists protested at the United Nations headquarters on Monday, demanding more urgent action to address the global plastic pollution crisis. The demonstration coincided with a new round of negotiations gathering representatives from 193 countries to draft the first internationally binding treaty aimed at limiting plastic production and addressing its harmful impacts on health and the environment. Protesters held banners with messages opposing plastic production, while Greenpeace representative Graham Forbes urged powerful nations such as France, Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom to confront the few countries still backed by fossil fuel interests.
