“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

Country delegates fail to advance the work on plastic production measures as Global #PlasticsTreaty negotiations #INC4 conclude. Countries must act on the demands of Indigenous Peoples as rightsholders entitled to a healthy environment. Read more ⬇️ breakfreefromplastic.org/2024/04/30/inc…

Only a few govts are blocking progress on the #plasticstreaty, but failure will belong to ALL! With just hrs left,@s_guilbeault @BjellandEriksen @MarinaSilva @State_E successful treaty must cut plastic production, eliminate dangerous chemicals, & ban throwaway plastic packaging.

We thank #Peru & #Rwanda for requesting intersessional work on primary plastics polymers to take place before #INC5 in #Busan. This work is critical to ensure we sign a #PlasticsTreaty this year that addresses the full life cycle of plastics @yesicafonseca_ @Juliet_kabera

The 🌏 should not have to pay the price for the plastic industry’s profits. We can't afford to lose more money that could be invested in real solutions. More about the economic benefits of #plasticreduction⬇️ no-burn.org/resources/econ… #PlasticsTreaty #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Low-ambition countries are STILL pushing for consensus as a decision mechanism for the #PlasticsTreaty. 1 asked for "absolute" consensus. We need majority voting, we don’t want countries having veto power to block decisions, esp ambitious measures #INC4 #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Saturday | 10:10 PT Dr. Neil Tangri tell us plastic is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gasses. What’s at stake and what will it take to get an international treaty on plastics @GAIAnoburn @brkfreeplastic @cejapower @SierraClubBC @350 @350Canada @envirodefence

Champion of the day #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 #April26 🏆 Congratulations #Peru

In the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations, some countries are trying to reduce the scope of the text to exclude plastic production. We don't have time to waste,⌛️we already have a mandate from UNEA 5.2 to sign a treaty that addresses the FULL life cycle of plastics #INC4

@vonhernandez: Consensus is always desirable whenever possible to bind the international community in shared visions, measures & targets. ⚠️When opportunities for consensus are exhausted due to the actions of a minority group, majority voting is important to prevent paralysis. 🧵

We need a Global #PlasticsTreaty that will change the system, from a single-use system to a reuse system. 👌💯✅ #INC4 #breakfreefromplastic @JMSimonL of @zerowasteeurope #BeatPlasticPollution #plastic

A group of “like-minded countries,” which includes Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Cuba, Iran and Russia, are opposed to any consideration of a cap on plastics production. Read this op-ed from @natobserver by #BreakFreeFromPlastic Coordinator Von Hernandez 👇 nationalobserver.com/2024/04/24/opi…

Nicky Davies, @DaringFuture: "The question is whether industry and oil-producing nations will torpedo [the treaty]." The treaty "must include significant production limits, or it risks becoming greenwashing for a climate-busting industry." hilltimes.com/story/2024/04/… - @thehilltimes

Plastics know no border. Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production. To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics. unep.org/news-and-stori…
