Consider the following statements regarding the proposed UN Global Plastics Treaty: 1. It aims to develop an internationally legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. 2. The mandate to negotiate this treaty was adopted at the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA). 3. India has committed to completely phase out all single-use plastics by the year 2025 under this treaty. How many of the above statements are correct?

The UN Global Plastics Treaty is being negotiated following a historic resolution at the UNEA to create a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, making statements 1 and 2 correct. Statement 3 is incorrect because while India banned certain identified single-use plastics domestically in 2022, it has not committed to a complete phase-out of all single-use plastics by 2025 under the international treaty, advocating instead for national circumstances and capabilities to dictate timelines.
