Implementation and Compliance Reporting for a Plastics Treaty

This policy brief by the Center for International Environmental Law discusses the role of implementation and compliance mechanisms in Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) to provide recommendations for the negotiation of a plastics treaty.

• The brief defines implementation as the process where countries create national laws and policies to mirror treaty obligations, utilizing tools such as national implementation plans (NIPs), periodic assessments, compliance provisions, and national reporting.
• The document argues that the development of substantive obligations, national plans, and reporting for a plastics treaty should be done in consideration of compliance.
