[Graham Forbes @graham_fo]

@greenpeacepress These brave activists should be inspire courage and be a reminder to every negotiator here in Busan - a treaty that fails to cut plastic production, is a failed treaty. Protect people and the planet over short term profits for a few. #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

BREAKING: As the final negotiations for #INC5 enter a critical phase in Busan, South Korea, Greenpeace International activists have boarded a tanker that is set to load toxic plastic chemicals from S Korea’s Hanwha TotalEnergies complex.

The @BizForTreaty just backed #BridgetoBusan - now let’s make sure we deliver a #PlasticsTreaty that tackles the source of plastic pollution: out of control production.

All the work over the past several years on a global plastics treaty will come down to Busan in Nov - join us in demanding world leaders put people and the planet first - to end plastic pollution and protect human health, we need to stop making toxic plastics

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

From the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to microplastic sampling off Colombia, Greenpeace has sailed the 🌏 to expose the plastic crisis.

Stay tuned as we sail across East Asia, demanding action to cut plastic production and a strong #PlasticsTreaty ✊

Kudos to California @AGRobBonta for suing ExxonMobil for decades of lying about plastic. Government officials at all levels have failed to hold petrochem companies accountable for decades, allowing the human, environmental and financial costs to spiral out of control. No longer.

[Graham Forbes @graham_fo]

This is progress and the starting point for a real conversation about what is actually required to protect people and the planet from plastic. Less plastic, more life. #PlasticsTreaty

[Greenpeace USA @greenpeaceusa]

BREAKING WIN: Biden-Harris Admin will support a global #plasticstreaty to limit the amount of plastics produced each year!

NOW is the time for political leaders to run past the backwards-looking fossil industry to end plastic pollution once and for all! #PlasticsTreaty

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

The race to the fifth and final round of #PlasticsTreaty talks is in the final stretch, with negotiations in Korea later this year.

We demand world leaders go the distance and fight back against industry to deliver a treaty that cuts plastic production!

[William Shatner @WilliamShatner]

Without the reduction of plastic production none of the other solutions work. @JustinTrudeau & @s_guilbeault if you could please 🙏🏻 look at this.

My dream is to prioritize our planet before profits during the last day of #PlasticsTreaty talks #INC4.

[Graham Forbes @graham_fo]

The world’s political leaders are slowly waking up to the reality that ending plastic pollution and protecting human health requires massively reducing production. A statement is nice, and now they need to make it a reality in the #PlasticsTreaty at #INC4 before it’s too late.

We thank #Peru & #Rwanda for requesting intersessional work on primary plastics polymers to take place before #INC5 in #Busan. This work is critical to ensure we sign a #PlasticsTreaty this year that addresses the full life cycle of plastics @yesicafonseca_ @Juliet_kabera

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

There’s no question: the lights are going out on the fossil fuel era.

Delaying tactics from the fossil fuel industry can’t change that.

Misinformation, distortion, and spin can’t change that – no matter how many billions of dollars are thrown at them.

[Sivendra Michael @sivendram13]

Beyond proud of #teamfijj and how they have been holding the low ambition countries to account at INC-4. We came here for a purpose, and we know that a job half-done is a job not done. We know that time is against us and we are doing our best to rep our people! @brkfreeplastic

[Greenpeace Canada @GreenpeaceCA]

🚨 BREAKING! As world leaders discuss the #PlasticsTreaty in Ottawa, @GreenpeaceCA activists bring a plastic factory to the negotiations to remind the delegates of the real villain: Big Plastic. Ask @JustinTrudeau & @s_guilbeault to champion this treaty >> https://t.co/NGpSBelmHI

[Center for International Environmental Law @ciel_tweets]

📢 NEW: 196 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have registered to participate for the critical #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks in Ottawa.

That’s more participants than the entire EU delegation, scientists, and Indigenous Peoples.
