Abstract

The menace caused by plastic waste is one of the biggest challenges the world is facing today. It is established that plastic pollution and its accumulation in the world ocean is one of the greatest threats exacerbating all three planetary existential threats identified by the UN. The presence of plastic pollutants in the marine environment is due to its transboundary and cross-continental movement. Therefore, after five decades of the Stockholm conference, it seems necessary to explore how far the principles and objectives of the Stockholm Declaration can be utilized to accommodate the rising concerns and to address the existing environmental crises, including the plastic pollution. There is a need to develop a cooperative scheme that enables the international community of States to come together and find a solution using the expertise of the Basel Convention. Such an initiative –a sort of alliance of states, both members and non-member States to the Convention - could also pave the way for similar collaboration among States to tackle the issues associated with plastic and other forms of pollution.

塑料污染物越境转移的法律分层
塑料垃圾造成的威胁是当今世界面临的最大挑战之一。已经确定,塑料污染及其在世界海洋中的积累是加剧联合国确定的所有三个地球生存威胁的最大威胁之一。海洋环境中存在塑料污染物是由于其越境和跨大陆运动。因此,在斯德哥尔摩会议召开50年之后,似乎有必要探讨《斯德哥尔摩宣言》的原则和目标在多大程度上可以用来应对日益严重的关切,并解决包括塑料污染在内的现有环境危机。有必要制定一项合作计划,使国际社会各国能够团结起来,利用《巴塞尔公约》的专门知识找到解决办法。这一举措是《公约》成员国和非成员国的一种联盟,也可以为各国之间的类似合作铺平道路,以解决与塑料和其他形式污染有关的问题。

In short, all aspects included in the concept of sustainable development. For more than two decades Environmental Policy and Law has assumed the role of the leading international forum for policy and legal matters relevant to this field. Environmental Policy and Law is divided into sections for easy accessibility.
