The failure of states to find agreement on a strong global treaty to #StopPlasticPollution is bitterly disappointing WWF calls on ambitious states to now pursue a different process to deliver a treaty Our #INC52 closing PR 👇

Final hours for #PlasticsTreaty negotiations⌛️ Talks have shown it won't be possible to get consensus from all UN member states⚠️ WWF calls on ambitious countries to be prepared to vote their text through. It's the only way to get a strong treaty www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The new draft Global Plastic Treaty is a devastating blow to people suffering from the impact of plastic pollution WWF's Eirik Lindebjerg tells AFP this treaty will not be effective - world leaders need to deliver a strong enforceable treaty #INC52

"All is not lost. The challenge is great but the steps are simple: Come together as a majority to finalise the treaty text and prepare to agree it through a vote" - Zaynab Sadan, WWF Global Plastics Policy Lead. The majority must act. #PlasticsTreaty

A majority of countries support a strong global #PlasticsTreaty to end the plastic pollution crisis – WWF’s Zaynab Sadan urges them not to let the minority railroad the #INC5 talks in Geneva www.context.news/just-transit... #PlasticsTreaty #INC5

"We risk having a meaningless treaty without any binding global rules like bans and phase-outs." WWF’s @eiriklindebjerg.bsky.social urges govts to come together as a majority to finalise a #PlasticsTreaty - Robin Millard & Isabel Malsang @afp.com www.france24.com/en/live-news... #INC5 #INC5.2

5 days into #INC 5.2, we’re still not on track for a #PlasticsTreaty that protects people & nature. Since negotiations started, over 36M tonnes of plastic waste have been dumped in the oceans The choice is clear: #CourageNotCompromise. Finalise a strong treaty now

Happy World Sea Turtle Day! New global initiative to map blue corridors for turtles.

#UNOC3 has put the wind in the sails that ocean action needs, says WWF, hailing progress on ratifying the High Seas Treaty, WTO Fisheries Subsidies Deal, support for a deep-sea mining moratorium, more marine protected areas and a Plastics Treaty. Read more now: wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

Countries have committed to put a stop to shark and ray extinction at #UNOC3, with a new coalition launched to better collaborate on ending overfishing and habitat loss threatening marine life. #SaveOurSeas @iucnshark.bsky.social @sscmarine.bsky.social wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

More than 90 countries have issued a "wake up call" on #PlasticPollution at #UNOC3.

"If we protect the ocean, it can help us in the fight against climate change. Seagrass beds, whales, healthy fisheries, the deep-sea, all help capture carbon," says WWF's Jessica Battle. "Action needs to start now, and we need money behind these pledges." #UNOC news.cgtn.com/news/2025-06...

Big news for the #HighSeas from #UNOC3. "Once the treaty enters into force, it will enable the establishment of networks of MPAs, and ensure that no new activity with significant impact on marine life can go ahead without an impact assessment." wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

"Let's also be blunt: Too many well-intentioned commitments are going unfulfilled. It’s time to break the bottlenecks, strengthen and restore resolve, and achieve what’s been promised," says WWF's DG, Kirsten Schuijt, as she takes the floor at #UNOC3. 🌊 Read the full statement: tinyurl.com/32e5fs3z
