The second part of the fifth round of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations has adjourned after a haphazard process that extended the negotiations for an extra day, but ended without a clear agreement on the path forward. Read our Press Release to learn more: breakfreefromplastic.org/202…

#IndustrialDeal agenda is more of the same: ⚠️#FalseSolutions to the #ClimateCrisis ⚠️#SingleMarket ⚠️#FreeTrade ⚠️#Deregulation And of course no mention of the need for a #ToxicFreeFuture. Political leaders & #EU2024BE must not sell out for this! corporateeurope.org/en/2024/…
Photo of Nina Holland, a white blonde woman wearing glasses and a scraf and the quote: "EU and Belgian political leaders today once more chose to sell out their credibility to citizens, receiving a Pact from precisely those corporations and lobby groups that have undermined, derailed, and delayed key actions for environment, health and climate in the Green Deal. They were able to do so using multi-million-euro lobby budgets and highly misleading lobby tactics. This is a slap in the face of democracy. Whatever is pledged today behind closed doors, we will not accept that this is how the agenda for the next five years to come is shaped.”

As the world drowns in plastic, the plastic treaty negotiations at #INC3 face a formidable challenge. The influence of oil & gas giants could weaken the deep cuts in plastic waste demanded by some CSOs, write @MichaelCopley and @juliaradio, for @NPR: npr.org/2023/11/13/121184351…

The world is awash in plastic. Oil producers want a say in how it's cleaned up

Groups connected to the fossil fuel industry are trying to shape an international treaty to cut plastic pollution. And oil- and gas-producing nations are at the negotiating table.
