3/ At #INC1 for the #PlasticsTreaty no precautions were taken other than asking for an upload of the vaccination records b4 departure. After quite a few cases emerged early on, some rapid tests could be purchased (10x as expensive as in Germany) from the conference. I know of MANY cases, plus it was very mixed with people who may not have access to great healthcare incl. vaccines. I much preferred the South Korean way with daily tests!

Nach neuer Schätzung werden aktuell 15% des EU-Gasverbrauchs für die #Plastik Produktion verwendet. Während wir bei #INC1 über eine Reduktion der #Plastikverschmutzung verhandeln werden neue Verträge mit langen Laufzeiten für Produktionssteigerungen unterzeichnet @SteffiLemke@twitter.com? https://twitter.com/gheorghiuandy/status/1599369995980374016

Good bye, Punta del Este and #Uruguay! Grateful for all the help and great hospitality received! It‘s a real pity that I cannot explore this beautiful countryside seen during the bus ride to the airport. #INC1

As #INC1 wraps up, it may be insightful to revisit how far voluntary commitments from the worlds largest companies have gotten us toward plastic reduction, and identify trends and gaps in these approaches.

Pollutants Elimination Network.”There has been a narrative shift."#INC1 https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/countries-split-plastics-treaty-focus-un-talks-close-2022-12-03/
