Country Submissions Heat Maps

The document consists of a set of heat maps created by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) based on UNEP pre-session submissions. These maps visualize country positions on various treaty elements, including mandatory restrictions on chemicals, harmonized product design standards, mandatory transparency requirements, measures on the extraction of raw materials, sectoral programmes of work, mandatory reporting across the plastic lifecycle, provisions on fishing gear and sea-based sources, supply-side measures to limit polymer production, and the establishment of a dedicated multilateral fund.

• The heat maps interpret country submissions on several specific treaty options, including the support for 'Mandatory Restrictions on Chemicals', 'Harmonized Product Design Standards', and 'Mandatory Transparency Requirements'.
• The analysis covers upstream and lifecycle measures, specifically looking at 'Measures on Extraction of Raw Materials', 'Support Mandatory Reporting Across the Full Lifecycle of Plastic', and 'Support Supply-Side Measures to Eliminate or Limit Polymer Production'.
• The maps assess country positions on targeted pollution sources and financial mechanisms, specifically 'Support a Provision on Fishing Gear/ Sea-Based Sources', 'Support Sectoral Programmes of Work for Specific Sources', and 'Support a Dedicated Multilateral Fund'.
