The High Ambition Coalition to End Plastic Pollution is a group of like-minded countries dedicated to addressing the global crisis of plastic pollution. Plastic waste has devastating effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, the climate, and human health. Without action, plastic production is set to double in 20 years, and plastic waste leaking into the ocean is projected to triple by 2040.

To tackle this urgent problem, the High Ambition Coalition aims to develop an international legally binding instrument based on a comprehensive and circular approach. Their goal is to end plastic pollution by 2040. To achieve this, they have outlined three strategic goals: restrain plastic consumption and production, enable a circular economy for plastics that protects the environment and human health, and achieve environmentally sound management and recycling of plastic waste.

They have also identified key deliverables to guide their success, including eliminating problematic plastics, setting global sustainability criteria and standards, and ensuring transparency in the value chain of plastics.
