Sri Lanka has officially joined the “Nice Wake-Up Call” – a high-level appeal for an ambitious and effective global plastics treaty, launched during a side event at the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France, states the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment & Tourism.

The event, hosted by France, brought together international leaders and experts ahead of the upcoming Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC 5.2) session on the global plastics treaty.
The “Wake-Up Call” urges nations to support a strong international agreement that addresses the full life cycle of plastic, with a particular focus on reducing global production, eliminating harmful chemicals, promoting sustainable design, and ensuring effective means of implementation – including financial support through the polluter-pays principle.

Sri Lanka’s decision to endorse the initiative reflects the country’s continued commitment to environmental sustainability and aligns closely with its priorities including global production controls, enhanced product design standards, and the promotion of extended producer responsibility (EPR) as a key implementation tool.

With this endorsement, Sri Lanka joins a growing coalition of countries determined to deliver a legally binding, science-based, and ambitious treaty that evolves over time to tackle the global plastics crisis.
