#inc2 is over. One step closer to a #PlasticTreaty . It has been an intense and good experience. So many things at stake with the plethora of interests and aspects. Now for the intersessional periode prior to #inc3. I feel so fortunate to share this work with the rest of @sciencecoalition.

💔 Welcome to the #Anthropocene, where birds like this great crested grebe use #plastic debris rather than natural litter to build nests 🪺.
We need a global #PlasticTreaty with production caps to cut pollution that occurs even in affluent economies such as Germany!
Heute gesehen in #Bremen: Haubentaucher brütet in #Plastik 💔!Für die nächste Legislatur wünsche ich mir, dass dieses Problem ENDLICH ernsthaft angegangen wird u wenn‘s organisierte wöchentliche/ monatliche #cleanups sind wie in Ruanda!

In the run-up to #INC-2, I’ve started to update the #Wikipedia page on the #PlasticTreaty, which could use some improvement.

The second round of negotiations for the global #PlasticsTreaty will take place from 29 May to 2 June in Paris.

In the run-up, I'm posting links here in this thread:

What should the #PlasticTreaty contain, and who gets to decide?

On line shopping is very convenient. But it comes at a cost paid by someone somewhere.

The #PlasticTreaty has the possibility to become a global health and human rights treaty, but to succeed it has to prevent the possibility for States to use the veto and halt decision-making.

The first negotiation meeting of the #plastictreaty has wrapped up in beautiful #Uruguay 🇺🇾 I've participated as a member of the scientific community, engaging with delegates to figure out how science can contribute to the process.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations makes a strong statement on hopes for the outcome of #PlasticTreaty negotiations. Only by turning of the tap can we effectively prevent plastics pollution. This is the key message being presented by the #Pacific region at #INC1. https://twitter.com/antonioguterres/status/1598667368296751109
