It's the final day of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations in Canada, where frontline community members still face a health + environmental emergency due to #benzene release from @INEOS plastic manufacturing plant. @UNEP, this is exactly what we need to regulate! reuters.com/business/energy/…

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

Over the past week, Aamjiwnaang First Nation community members started falling ill due to exposure to high levels of benzene, a carcinogenic chemical generated from the nearby plastic-producing plant @INEOS Styrolution in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. LIVE press conference #INC4 (🧵)

113 groups signed an open letter in solidarity with the Aamjiwnaang community who are facing benzene pollution. Plastic pollution comes in many forms. We need a global plastics treaty that protects communities. @ecojustice_ca @envirodefence @CAPE_ACME ow.ly/NNu150RolLy

This agreement holds a lot of potential, and the idea of $1 billion invested in nature is precedent-setting. However, it’s also important to remember that much of this (including all of BC’s portion), is through existing funding programs.

Palestine TV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague Salman Al-Bashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with his family in this same hospital.”
