The #EconGlobalPlastics summit this week is almost a preview with actors from govt to civil society and industry present. The full film - #INC3 - is next month in Kenya where delegates would discuss the #ZeroDraft - the first international instrument to address #PlasticCrisis
The event is an opportunity to challenge false solutions from plastic credits to bioplastics to chemical recycling as a viable way to deal with the #plasticcrisis AND put peoples health, well being, #reuse, petchem & #justtranition on the agenda!

Congrats to all advocates, activists, communities, civil society &members states who fought long & hard to arrive at the mandate for a zero draft in INC2 for the #PlasticsTreaty for negotiations at #INC3 in November, in Kenya. Emphasis on Intersessional work cannot be overstated

🚨PSA: bioplastic and plastic credits are licenses for polluters to continue polluting, not to solve the plastic crisis.

This is why we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty Now! Measures only focused on the downstream have not worked in decades. Countries must agree to minimise plastic production to effectively #CloseTheTap on plastic pollution.

#INC2 negotiations have formally begun in Paris with a plenary of opening statements. It is clouded by limited, restricted access of civil society orgs, fence line and frontline communities and the larger global south. #PlasticsTreaty

“A full transformation that reduces society’s over dependence plastic..
..An economy that creates new jobs along the supply chain and brings justice to communities…
… to me it is about redesign, redesign, redesign…”

Plastic bags clogging storm drains is known cause for the 2006 flooding of #Mumbai. New report identifies causal pathways linking #plasticpollution & #flood severity. With min 218 million at risk of plastic-aggravated flooding, a LOT is at stake at #PlasticsTreaty negotiations!
Australia fails on its #recycling promises leading to stockpiling of #plastic waste results in @tanya_plibersek conveniently lifting plastic export ban. This is clear departure from #Australia's commitment to @HACplastic

This is after weeks of scrambling for budgets and visa applications for grassroots groups to enable their participation to #INC2 negotiations where text of the #PlasticTreaty will be negotiated. Too much is on stake and this stroke from @UNEP is ironic move of injustice!
NEW:
@UNEP announces observers will receive one badge per organization in upcoming #PlasticsTreaty negotiations, severely limiting public participation during #INC2
A thread 🧵:
Really shoddy behaviour coming from an international organization who claims to commit to equal stakeholder participation in its mandate!!
#PlasticTreaty
@UNEP
That @UNEP secretariat is fine with having allowed 5 people per accredited NGO to register and pay for a very expensive trip&stay in Paris to attend the #PlasticsTreaty nego, but now allows only 1 out of 5 of them to ENTER the venue is simply outrageous 😡
#pollutersout #NGOsIN
Mumbai’s Manhattan #Worli right now! Why is the government not declaring a health emergency in #Mumbai. We are living in a gas chamber. If this Government cares about its people, it must STOP all construction activities in this city immediately! #AirPollution
