A three-component initiative to break the INC-5 deadlock. (1) High Ambition Coalition: 60+ nations sign a binding treaty with 50% plastic production reduction by 2040, reusable-by-design standards, and extended producer responsibility — proceeding without blocking petrochemical states using CBAM-style trade measures on non-compliant imports.

(2) 0B Plastic Pollution Fund capitalized by coalition members to build collection and recycling infrastructure in LMICs, addressing the equity argument that poor nations generate disproportionate ocean plastic due to infrastructure deficits, not behavior.

(3) Corporate Plastic Footprint Standards: any company selling into coalition markets must meet mandatory plastic footprint reduction targets regardless of where they manufacture — closing the production offshore loophole.
