🚨Showing our collective power outside plenary🚨 Observers gather outside the plenary hall, telling delegates to fix the process, keep their promise, and end plastic pollution. #INC52 #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution #BreakFreeFromPlastic

"Progress made has not been sufficient" - #INC52 Chair says. After two years, with many opportunities to move forward, there are too many unresolved issues with little time to resolve.

#Thread We @reporters_co investigated Modi Govt’s global PR machinery--its Ministry of Truth. What we uncovered: lobbying to downplay child hunger in global rankings, creating a poverty index to claim reduction in poverty, and even dodging responsibility for democracy! Read on.

With just two meetings left to finalize the text of a Global Plastics Treaty, the significance of the current Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting cannot be overstated. buff.ly/4dcT2BK

“If we leave this to the hands of negotiators, we’ll end up with Compilation Text 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0. We cannot continue with this model…To #BreakFreeFromPlastic, we need to break free from brackets!” 🔥 -Fiji 🇫🇯 chief plastics negotiator @sivendram13 #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

. @theeco_nomist you sir are the warrior the planet needs. Thank you for standing against those for whom greed > planet. The future generations would be thankfully for your courage. #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

Yet again, civil society space is shrinking at the UN Waste pickers, affected communities, Indigenous Peoples have come from around the world for the global #PlasticsTreaty talks and can't even get a literal seat at the table We won't accept this and demand to be heard at #INC5

Plastic is an environmental justice issue. 🌍 Countries in the Global South & SIDS produce little plastic but face disproportionate risks - as do frontline communities and informal sector workers. The #PlasticsTreaty must drive a just transition to a fair, circular economy.
