I congratulate Ambassador Julio Cordano of Chile on his election as Chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution.   #INC5.3 confirmed strong global resolve to advance a #PlasticsTreaty. Now is the time to work together to end #PlasticPollution.

Honoured to be appointed as the next @UNDP Administrator. At a time when the world needs cooperation, action and impact more than ever, I’m grateful to @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres and Member States for their trust. Looking forward to joining the UNDP team.

As #INC5.2 concludes, we leave with a clearer understanding of the challenges ahead + a renewed shared 🌎 commitment. This moment inspires us to act boldly and uphold our commitments to end plastic pollution. #PlasticsTreaty progress is our obligation. unep.org/inc-plastic-po…

In Geneva, at the resumed #INC5, the halls are filled with the voices of nations who are working so hard to finalise the #PlasticsTreaty. With 3 days left, the path to ending plastic pollution runs through our shared commitment to multilateralism and the planet we call home.

Plastic is choking our planet — from our oceans to our bodies. We must not accept this as our destiny. In Geneva, #INC5 is our chance to secure a #PlasticsTreaty that ends plastic pollution, once and for all. The world must act — for present and future generations.

The world traded +$1 trillion in plastics last year. Greener alternatives still face higher tariffs. That must change. Trade rules should support the shift to a circular economy. A strong global #PlasticsTreaty is essential for development & the planet. ow.ly/AYGn50WzV4k

Countries are negotiating a global #PlasticsTreaty to help #BeatPlasticPollution. We need a fair deal that tackles the full life-cycle of plastics, reflects the @CIJ_ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change & supports a shift away from fossil fuels.

“This is a historic opportunity to bridge differences and find common ground 🌎. It is a test of our collective responsibility to protect the environment, safeguard human health, enable sustainable economies, and stand in solidarity with those most affected by plastic pollution”
