Goosebumps in the @SINTEF group when, right before 2am, we witnessed Brazil and Iraq shake hands and smile 😊 late night diplomacy - and hopefully history in the making in #inc4 in 🇨🇦 and definitely intersectional work!
Not #MTV but actually The Real World [#INC4] “when people stop being polite and start getting real.” Or in this case delegates. Will we soon have agreed intersessional work?
The @SINTEF team is ready to see what the end of the night will bring for #inc4 Distinguished delegates - let’s get closer to a #plastictreaty that is not just a paper tiger but has some real teeth!
And so it begins - the last plenary of #INC4 on #plasticpollution - it’s almost 9pm and rumor has it we might be here until 3am! There may also need to be some #inc4bis action if we are to have a treaty my 2024 - sounds familiar @Dr_Mendenhall @FBateh#bbnj? @SINTEF@EmilyCCowan
3000 lines in Excel, 250,000 Words in notes, & 288 working hours - & night is still young on the 6th day of #inc4 negotiations in Ottawa! This is the @SINTEF team of Event Ethnographers and we are ready for the last 24 hours! Treaty by end of 2024?@UNEP@forskningsradet
Tired @SINTEF event ethnographers at late night plenary of #inc4 yesterday where much more exhausted delegates from small delegations drew a line on the sand on 3 parallel and very late night sessions - which was quickly washed away this morning when they were scheduled again 😒
‼️💥BREAKING #INC4🇨🇦
Meanwhile the world is shaping a new #PlasticsTreaty, Canada's Aamjiwnaang First Nation declared a state of emergency due to the excessive release of harmful chemicals from plastic manufacturing plant.
