IPEN Co-Chair Dr. Tadesse Amera: “consequences of increasing plastic production will be disastrous for our health, the planet, & the climate. So the stakes are high… need for global controls on chemicals in #plastics and for limits on plastic production”

As more science emerges on threats from toxic chemicals in plastics, Plastics Treaty talks enter a new phase centered on eliminating chemicals throughout
Global Plastics Treaty #INC2 Outcomes:
*Delegates mandated the INC Secretariat to prepare a zero-draft of the treaty in advance of INC-3.
* INC3 scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya in November 2023, to work on a Zero draft.
* Committee welcomed offers to host INC-4 by Canada (Ottawa April 2024) and INC-5 by the Republic of Korea towards the end of 2024.
The options paper from INC2 will inform the ‘zero draft’, the text with legal language that will form the blueprint of the final treaty.
An important decision will be what kind of treaty: a treaty focused on global obligations, where every country needs to comply with an international set of standards (like the Montreal Protocol or Minamata Convention)? Or should it be a treaty that relies on nationally determined measures, where countries set their own goals and targets (like the Paris Agreement)?
I also focussed on Australia's role, which adopted a high ambition for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty.

After a tough start, a sigh of relief!
Thrilled to share that we've made significant headway in the plastics negotiations in Paris.🌍
A mandate for a first draft of the new treaty before Nairobi this fall has been secured.
United to combat plastic pollution now!

Merci d’avoir maintenu un discours ambitieux, d’avoir rappelé l’urgence et la nécessité d’agir. Nous étions tous réunis pour travailler à un objectif commun : mettre fin a la pollution plastique. @EmmanuelMacron le souhaitait, cette seconde session des négociations du traité plastique aura été un jalon important. Rendez-vous à Nairobi en novembre avec un texte sur la table à négocier, avec l'objectif d'aboutir dès 2024 ! On avance !

« What a powerful intervention by the indigenous peoples major group at #INC2
Thank you for sending such a strong message to us! Companies have to be held accountable for the harm they have caused and your knowledge has to be included in this #PlasticsTreaty https://t.co/wG1Oj7xJY3 »

"Hey Dad, we are famous. We are featured in this ABC News article today about public drinkng water fountains.
Too bad they did not include your comments about public water fountains reducing plastic waste, considering the #PlasticsCrisis we have and the current negotiations for #INC2 Global Plastics Treaty.
And they ignored the fact that more public water fountains is a climate adaptation enabling people to hydrate in public spaces during #heatwave events and extreme heat days that are becoming more common with global warming.
They also left out the Climate Action Merribek submission for more public drinking fountains in strip shopping centres around the municipality was accepted in the community budget ideas and funded to the tune of $50k by #Merribek Council.
I guess they couldn't include everything in the article....At least they included our names."
