Today, Nørre Nissum Efterskole students visited the International #EnvironmentHouse for an intro on #GENeva as a global hub for env't governance!
Rich discussions took place with Sofie Flensborg on the work of #CITES, followed by a simulation of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations.
A strong, binding Plastics Treaty must protect our health. 🫁
🩺 Demand a strong treaty that puts health and justice before profit.

Join me in support of a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production and use so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. #BreakFreeFromPlastic act.gp/3G0t34p
The new documentary #ThePlasticDetox is an eye-opening journey into the hidden dangers of plastic in our homes, with an eye towards one challenge specifically: the worldwide fertility crisis. 📽️
Watch the film and join the call for a strong #PlasticsTreaty!

#WorldRecyclingDay: si #recycler est de manière générale une bonne chose, cela ne résoudra absolument pas la #crise du #plastique, contrairement à ce que prétend l'industrie pétrochimique. La solution? Produire moins de plastique. Nous avons pour cela besoin d'un #PlasticsTreaty efficace.
🛢️ Les compagnies pétrolières veulent nous faire croire que le recyclage va résoudre le problème de la pollution plastique. ❌ C'est un mythe ! Seuls 9 % du plastique jamais produit ont été recyclés. Pour mettre fin à la crise du plastique il faut réduire la production #PlasticsTreaty @bafu.admin.ch
🛢️Big Oil wants us to believe that recycling alone can fix plastic pollution. ❌ It’s a myth!
Only 9% of all plastic produced has ever been recycled. The only way to stop the plastic crisis is for governments and @bafu.admin.ch to deliver a strong #PlasticsTreaty that cuts production
#PlasticsTreaty roadmap towards a new round of negotiations end of 2026 or early 2027 ⤵️
Germany has been a strong champion of ambitious action on chemicals, pollution and waste - advancing the new Science-Policy Panel and supporting ongoing #PlasticsTreaty talks.
Pleased to discuss priorities with Carsten Schneider, German Minister for the Environment, Climate Action & Nature today 🇩🇪
Untergehende Hand, die ein High Five bekommt, weil 9% des Plastiks recycelt wird, aber nicht gerettet wird.
♻️ Heute ist #WorldRecyclingDay ♻️
#Recycling ist eine gute Sache. Doch die #Plastikkrise löst es nicht, auch wenn Ölkonzerne das behaupten.
Statt zu recyceln müssen wir endlich weniger #Plastik produzieren. Und dafür brauchen wir ein wirksames globales #PlasticsTreaty.
Plastic Detox is out on Netflix today!
🍿 Watch, share it with friends, family, and your communities, who might not yet know about the harms of plastics.

Waste workers play a vital yet underrecognized role in managing waste and recycling. ♻️👤 A strong #PlasticsTreaty is an opportunity to facilitate a mandatory just transition for workers along the plastics lifecycle. ✊

Its been a while since #PlasticsTreaty negotiations ended in Geneva at #INC5.2 without an agreement to end #PlasticPollution, but this paper was borne out of our frustration of the process.

The latest round of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations concluded with a new Chair.
Our new brief examines where the treaty text stands and whether the oft-cited “start-and-strengthen” approach, where a treaty is strengthened over time, can work.
