Despite objections from some parties, a group of 28 countries issued a pledge to include production caps in the final treaty text. Over 50 countries supported a proposal to assess the measures for what a sustainable level for plastic production would entail, and countries across the board also agreed to set forth a plan for how to identify hazardous plastic chemicals and wasteful plastic products including single-use plastic. Work will continue in ad hoc meetings before the final summit on 25 November in Busan, South Korea, including discussions on how developing countries can fund an implementation of any proposed treaty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The story made headlines in the international press:&nbsp;<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/plastic-treaty-talks-behind-schedule-amid-impasse-over-production-limits-2024-04-29\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/plastic-pollution-treaty-negotiations-ottawa-united-nations-e291d64f4f55846973be4f78f33f0fdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">AP<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-04-30\/plastic-treaty-talks-disappoint-those-pushing-for-production-cap\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a1357843-3cde-4714-bcbb-906c43c1829b\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Financial Times<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2024\/04\/29\/plastic-pollution-treaty-negotiations-ottawa-united-nations\/831da9aa-064b-11ef-b60b-a512fc749f9b_story.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2024\/apr\/30\/developed-countries-accused-bowing-lobbyists-plastic-pollution-talks\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">COP WATCH- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong><a id=\"wwtt1\"><\/a>The <\/strong><strong>Loss <\/strong><strong>and Damage Fund kicks off its first board meeting in Abu Dhabi: <\/strong>COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber opened the inaugural board meeting of the Loss and Damage Fund yesterday in a speech calling for urgent and efficient progress on the Fund's financing operations, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wam.ae\/en\/article\/13w3pw0-cop28-president-addresses-historic-first-board\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Wam<\/a> reports.

The polysilicon sector has been facing a crisis of oversupply, \u201cforcing many to sell near or below costs and prompting some manufacturers to cut output to avoid losses,\u201d Bloomberg explains, adding that prices dropped to USD 6.76 per kg last week, compared to USD 39 in August 2022. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why is polysilicon predicted to be the first to exit the rut? <\/strong>The polysilicon sector will be able to \u201cshakeout\u201d the impacts of the struggling solar industry due to its high capital costs for reentry, which can protect surviving companies from increased competition and allow for \u201cquicker recovery,\u201d Song explains. Other segments of the solar industry, like wafers, cells, and modules, may take longer to recover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Recovery will still take time:<\/strong> It will take six months to a year until polysilicon prices rebound to rational levels at about CNY 60 per kg (USD 8.28 per kg), Song told Bloomberg. This will happen as supply in the market continues to fall on the back of manufacturers exiting the market, which Song believes will continue to happen in the next 3-6 months.

The organization\u2019s Climate Damages Tax proposal is supported by over 100 climate organizations. According to the report, 80% of the funds collected from the proposed tax would go to the newly established Loss and Damage Fund, aiding developing countries in their climate crisis response through a just transition to renewables. The rest could be returned to communities where the tax is imposed as a \u201cdomestic dividend\u201d to support them during the climate transition, the report suggests. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The breakdown: <\/strong>The report suggests introducing a tax to the 38-member OECD intergovernmental organization of advanced economies starting this year at a low initial rate of USD 5 per ton of CO2, and increasing it by USD 5 per ton each year. If introduced, the tax would raise a total of USD 900 bn by 2030 \u2014 USD 720 bn of which would go to the Loss and Damage Fund and USD 180 bn to the domestic dividend. The proposed tax would be integrated into existing royalty payment systems, ensuring ease of administration, Greenpeace explains. The tax would also help accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels by making their production costlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong><a id=\"wwtt4\"><\/a>#6- <\/strong><strong>Another <\/strong><strong>round of US-China talks is on the way: <\/strong>China intends to discuss expanding cooperation on energy, the circular economy, and decarbonization efforts with the US at an upcoming visit to the US in May, China's newly appointed climate chief Liu Zhenmin told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-04-30\/china-climate-chief-to-visit-us-with-aim-to-bolster-key-ties?srnd=homepage-americas\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>. \u201cCommon ground means that both the US and China want to continue to lead this global process to respond to climate change,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- The US and China are making progress: <\/strong>US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Chinese Premier Li Qiang <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/dca52e28-90cb-4420-9269-412c3be08a7d\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">concluded a diplomatic visit<\/a> in Guangzhou last month which left the US-China relationship \u201con more stable footing.\u201d Trade issues were sparked by a Chinese oversupply of cheap solar panels and EVs which crowded American and European markets and threatened domestic production.
