A pleasure to meet Julie Dabrusin, Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change, at #COP30.
@unep.org and Canada are close partners, working together on efforts to #BeatPlasticPollution - including 🇨🇦 hosting #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks last year - and progress on global environmental goals.
🗣️ We want to say one word to you. Just one word: #Plastics
🌐 Today the #negotiations for a global Plastics treaty begin in #Geneva #INC4
Our researcher @felixmuller364.bsky.social is observing & conducting field work.
We summarized the most pressing points and will keep you informed here! 👇
Today, the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty sent an open letter to the #INC Bureau, stressing the crucial importance of science and observer participation in the negotiation process for a global #PlasticsTreaty, which was minimal during #INC4 and #INC5.

“The point of treaty-making is to develop the rules needed to solve a common problem, & to work over the following years, decades to get a critical mass of countries to adhere [to them].”@magnuslovold on #inc4 #plasticstreaty ...
Enviro advocates say outcomes of the #INC4 UN plastics treaty talks & the #G7 ministers’ meeting on climate fall far short of commitments necessary to protect public & planetary health, including phasing out fossil fuels & curbing plastics production

Plastics Treaty talks end in disappointment over production limits
Hopes for faster progress on implementing limits on plastic production were dashed in Ottawa. Campaigners blame large oil producers — including the United States.

The Plastics Industry (Perry, 1947)
Despite a growth of brackets and new text when #INC4 was meant to streamline, there were some signs of #PlasticTreaty progress, such as agreeing to set a legal drafting group to ensure the text of the new instrument on #plasticpollution is legally sound
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.

The last stretch of #INC4 negotiations on the #PlasticsTreaty is happening now! Let's make sure we:
⬇️ Reduce plastic production
❌ Ban toxic chemicals
🍴 Eliminate single-use plastics
🌱 Promote #SaferSolutions like non-toxic reuse systems

Damit der Plastikmüll in der Umwelt weniger wird, ist „der wichtigste Hebel, die Produktion zu begrenzen“.

With 75 per cent of emissions occurring during plastic production, it could consume nearly one-fifth of the Earth’s remaining carbon budget by 2050, writes @SenRosaGalvez #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty #ClimateEmergency #HumanRights www.nationalobserver.com/2024/04/29/o...

Hi #INC4 from 1970 🫀 This one is delicate— I love & nearly lost someone saved by a plastics-mediated heart surgery. Yet, this copy: speaks to the moment, in which it is also true that #microplastics are present in the heart & heart surgery leaves behind plastics. #PlasticsTreaty
Champion of the day:Malawi 🇲🇼, the Philippines 🇵🇭 & Fiji 🇫🇯, and the other countries advocating for intersessional work on polymers #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 #April28
