The #plasticstreaty is an unmissable opportunity for the international community to protect human health and the environment. As the #INC intersessional open-ended expert groups meet in Bangkok this week, read the @TESSForum briefing note on "Human Health in the INC Intersessional Work Process" to learn more about: ➡ The call to action rising from health experts & environmental justice communities that the #plasticscrisis is a health crisis ➡ The ways that governments have pointed to the protection of #humanhealth & the environment from #plasticpollution in submissions to the expert groups so far ➡ Opportunities to progress convergence on an integrated approach for the protection of human health ahead of #INC5 in Busan this November Read the briefing note here: bit.ly/3WRTkXc
