<p>关于制定一项开创性条约以应对塑料污染的谈判在周六陷入困境，进展缓慢，各国在拟议协议的内容上严重分歧。</p>
<p>此次谈判于周二开始，还有四个工作日的时间来达成一项具有法律约束力的文件，以应对日益严重的环境问题。</p>
<p>但在一次直言不讳的中期评估中，谈判主席警告在日内瓦联合国集会的 184 个国家，迄今为止的进展远未达到预期。</p>
<p>一些国家呼吁将各国意见分歧较大的领域完全抛弃，以便于达成共识。</p>
<p>另一些国家则抨击这种边缘政策，表示坚持共识不能作为放弃条约中更雄心勃勃部分的理由。</p>
<p>厄瓜多尔外交官路易斯·瓦亚斯·瓦尔迪维索在各国代表聚集在大会厅总结时坦率地告诉与会者：&#34;迄今为止取得的进展还不够。&#34;</p>
<p>&#34;我们已经到了一个关键阶段，需要真正推动实现我们的共同目标。&#34;</p>
<p>&#34;8 月 14 日不仅是我们工作的截止日期：这是我们必须交付的日期。&#34;</p>
<p>- '进展甚微' -</p>
<p>在 2024 年韩国釜山举行的第五轮也是最后一轮谈判失败后，各国重新在日内瓦联合国召开会议。</p>
<p>经过四天的谈判，草案文本从 22 页膨胀到 35 页——文本中的括号数量几乎增加了五倍，接近 1500 个，各国插入了相互矛盾的观点。</p>
<p>瓦亚斯·瓦尔迪维索表示，各国有两年半的时间来提出这样的建议。</p>
<p>&#34;一些条款仍然存在未解决的问题，且在达成共识方面进展甚微，&#34;他感叹道。</p>
<p>科威特为所谓的志同道合国家发声——这是一个主要由产油国组成的模糊团体，拒绝生产限制，想要专注于废物处理。</p>
<p>科威特表示，条约的范围没有得到&#34;平等和公平的讨论机会&#34;。</p>
<p>&#34;让我们就能达成一致的内容达成共识……共识必须是我们所有决策的基础。&#34;</p>
<p>但乌拉圭坚持认为，顽固地坚持共识&#34;不能作为不实现我们目标的理由&#34;。</p>
<p>谈判过程被要求关注塑料的整个生命周期，从生产到污染。</p>
<p>世界自然基金会全球塑料顾问艾里克·林德贝格告诉法新社，科威特的提议是&#34;另一个试图将其变成废物管理协议的尝试&#34;，并试图阻碍减少塑料数量和逐步淘汰最有害成分的谈判。</p>
<p>沙特阿拉伯代表阿拉伯集团表示，负责任的前进方式是开始考虑哪些文本部分&#34;可能由于不可调和的分歧而无法进入最终结果&#34;。</p>
<p>&#34;我们不能在任何地方同时做所有事情，&#34;利雅得说，并补充道：&#34;不要让完美成为好的敌人。&#34;</p>
<p>- '从中获利的毒害' -</p>
<p>巴拿马的谈判代表胡安·蒙特雷·戈麦斯抨击那些希望阻止条约涵盖塑料整个生命周期的国家。</p>
<p>他说，微塑料&#34;存在于我们的血液中，存在于我们的肺中，存在于新生儿的第一声啼哭中。我们的身体是一个从毒害中获利的系统的活生生的证明。&#34;</p>
<p>他说，&#34;单靠回收是不可能拯救我们的……我们无法通过回收来解决这个危机……当毒素在我们体内时。&#34;</p>
<p>塑料污染如此普遍，以至于微塑料已在最高的山峰、最深的海沟和几乎人类身体的每个部分中被发现。</p>
<p>全球每年生产超过 4 亿吨塑料，其中一半用于一次性物品。</p>
<p>到 2060 年，塑料生产预计将增加三倍。</p>

废品管理

<p>在联合国进行的关于制定应对塑料污染的条约的谈判进展缓慢，各国在关键问题上存在分歧。这场于周二开始的谈判进展甚微，草案文本大幅扩展，未解决的冲突也在增加。一些国家主张关注废物管理，而另一些国家则坚持要解决整个塑料生命周期的问题。法律约束力协议的截止日期是 8 月 14 日，代表们强调达成共识以应对日益严重的塑料污染引发的环境危机的紧迫性</p>
