Day 4, INC5 - Diplomacy #101

We're on Day 4 of the fifth (& final) negotiations, and delegates are still deciding what the mandate should include. Every clause that addresses plastic pollution across its lifecycle? Not in the mandate!

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

#BreakFreeFromPlastic #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

Let's remind #PlasticsTreaty negotiators: the full lifecycle of plastics starts at the point of extraction of raw materials. We want an effective treaty that addresses the root cause of the plastic crisis. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

Last round of negotiations for a Plastics Treaty has begun! Would petro-states continue to block efforts to address the root of plastic pollution? Or would high ambition countries prevail? 👀
