"Progress made has not been sufficient" - #INC52 Chair says. After two years, with many opportunities to move forward, there are too many unresolved issues with little time to resolve.

An ambitious two-and-a-half-year timeline was set at the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA 5.2) in March 2022 to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. https://t.co/RpIptSJbuh

#Thread We @reporters_co investigated Modi Govt’s global PR machinery--its Ministry of Truth. What we uncovered: lobbying to downplay child hunger in global rankings, creating a poverty index to claim reduction in poverty, and even dodging responsibility for democracy!

Read on.

With just two meetings left to finalize the text of a Global Plastics Treaty, the significance of the current Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting cannot be overstated. https://t.co/YRkllKkDOF

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

Yet again, civil society space is shrinking at the UN

Waste pickers, affected communities, Indigenous Peoples have come from around the world for the global #PlasticsTreaty talks and can't even get a literal seat at the table

We won't accept this and demand to be heard at #INC5

[Common Seas @CommonSeas]

Plastic is an environmental justice issue. 🌍

Countries in the Global South & SIDS produce little plastic but face disproportionate risks - as do frontline communities and informal sector workers.

The #PlasticsTreaty must drive a just transition to a fair, circular economy.
