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!

Who said nothing good happens after 2:00am? #inc4 #intersessional

[Rachel Haug Fossbakk (formerly Tiller) @racheltiller]

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?

[Rachel Haug Fossbakk (formerly Tiller) @racheltiller]

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!

[Rachel Haug Fossbakk (formerly Tiller) @racheltiller]

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

[Ina Helene Ahlquist @InaAhlquist]

Still going strong on day 6 out of 8

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 😒

This is #MeetOurECOPs week ! For the first day of the week, we get to know @EmilyCCowan from @SINTEF. She is working on plastics pollution and governance for her PhD. The perfect example of why it is important to merge science and policies !
