MPP, or marine plastic pollution, is a serious issue. The prisoner’s dilemma is preventing nations from acting on this issue. Therefore, nations must draft an MPP treaty in order to address this issue. Inthis paper, I contend that the optimal strategy is top-down because it offers precise recommendations that are simpler for nations to put into practice. I also contend that in order to prevent the top-down strategy from failing, theMPP pact ought to take lessons from the Kyoto Protocol. Subsequently, theMPP pact ought to split the targets into two time frames: short, medium, andlong-term. Along with regulating domestic funding through extended producer responsibility (EPR) and the excise tax on single-use plastics, the MPP treaty should also govern financing difficulties involving global monies funded by rich nations. Lastly, the MPP treaty ought to control the financial and technical support as well as the enforcement procedure.
