@tangri0.bsky.socialThe #plasticstreaty negotiations need a way forward. Torbjørn Graff Hugo has a great new policy paper out that asks how many countries are needed to get to a treaty of the willing. My comment: set the ambition bar high to solve two problems at once: tangri.science/a-treaty-of-...
@maug-09.bsky.socialScientists have found that plastic production is linked to health issues like cancer and asthma. @POTUS, @SciDiplomacyUSA, and @State_E — for the health of our communities, please work toward a strong and ambitious Global #PlasticsTreaty. @onlyone only.one/act/plastics...
@melaniebergma18.bsky.social‼️New drone/YOLOv4-based study finds super-high #plastic densities at the Caspian Sea coast:
7,192 litter items were detected in ~0.385 km2, corresponding to a mean of 18,684 items/km2, hotspot densities exceeded 60,000 items/km2.
➡️We so need this #PlasticsTreaty!

@gaiazerowaste.bsky.socialAhead of the Heads of Delegation (HOD) meeting for the Global Plastics Treaty in Bangkok next week, read our Plastic Recycling Briefing in EN - FR - ES:

@gaiazerowaste.bsky.socialCan a treaty that avoids controls on plastic production, and instead focuses only on recycling and burning plastics, deliver?
The short answer: no treaty would be a better than a plastic recycling treaty.

@greenpeace.orgThe war on Iran exposed a brutal truth: when fossil fuel supply chains break, people pay more for essentials while oil, gas and petrochemical giants cash in.
It’s time to end fossil fuel dependence and turn off the plastic tap with a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty.

@globalrec.bsky.social✊ IAWP Response to the Chair's Aid to Negotiation
The plastics treaty is being written now, and we want a MANDATORY Just Transition: a clear definition of waste pickers and real recognition for the 500,000+ organised waste pickers in 38 countries. 🌍
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgThough meaningful participation are essential to legitimate processes including #PlasticsTreaty, Miguel Luís of #Portugal emphasizes that though industry has a role in the process, commercial interests must not define the limits of the policy discussions.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgHelionor De Anzizu of @ciel.org stresses convergence across processes, from #PlasticsTreaty to Treaty on #BizHumanRights, in recognizing States have responsibility to protect #HumanRights & environment and to ensure private economic power does not prevent from fulfilling HR obligations.
@gaiazerowaste.bsky.socialThe #plasticstreaty negotiations were launched to end plastic pollution, NOT postpone action. We’re calling on governments to uphold the UNEA 5/14 mandate, address plastic production, protect ambition &reject a weak treaty.

@ciel.orgThis side event will examine how corporate influence is undermining human rights & environmental protection by delaying regulation, using a pollution playbook spanning from toxic chemicals to pesticides & plastics [ #PlasticsTreaty].
