6. SOUNDBITE (English) Graham Forbes, head of Greenpeace delegation to the negotiations:
“The best possible outcome in Geneva, from a Greenpeace perspective, is a strong treaty that includes a standalone provision on reducing plastic production. It sets a global target and includes mandatory globally agreed national contributions to reduce the amount of plastic that is produced to sustainable levels.”

"The worst case scenario coming out of Geneva would be a treaty that cuts plastic production outside of the actual agreement, so that you essentially memorialize in international law the right of the fossil fuel industry to produce plastic in perpetuity, poisoning generations to come."

So we definitely want a treaty to address pollution but what we don't want to do is prevent the next few billion people or future generations from having the benefits that we've enjoyed over the last 30 years."
