The #GlobalGateway investments must prove their value by applying the highest European standards of environmental protection and social responsibility — in every project, in every community" said WECF partner Kaisha Atakhanova of ARGO Kazakhstan at press meeting in Brussels this week.

Speaking for WECF at the #GlobalGateway Forum, I called for full transparency: which actors will pay in case of pollution & health impacts? Who cleans up (toxic) tailings and waste? What access to justice and reparation for local women and communities are ensured and who will carry the debt burden?

We are at the #GlobalGateway Forum, now being opened by #EU president Ursula von der Leyen, speaking to Heads of State, Ministers, Business reps and a handful of CSOs: she insists that in time of geopolitical tensions, transactionalism and isolation it is essential Europe invests in partnerships

#GlobalGateway EU investment projects should apply highest standards #humanrights, #gender equality #environmental protection, transparency & #accountability: too often investors polluted local communities’ lands & water but got away with it: great insights from partner Kaisha, ARGO net Central Asia

We will continue to urge world leaders to advance a strong agreement that limits plastic production and protects people's health, human rights, and the environment. At the same time, we persist in our efforts to ensure it addresses the gender dimensions of the plastics problem.

Petrostates block plastic treaty. 39 small island states (Sids) frustrated at “repeatedly returning home with insufficient progress to show our people … It is unjust for Sids to face the brunt of yet another global environmental crisis we contribute minimally to.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plastic negotiations without agreement. CIEL:”Some countries did not come here to negotiate a text but to block the treaty” “Certains pays ne sont pas venus ici pour finaliser un texte, mais pour faire le contraire : bloquer toute tentative…” www.franceinfo.fr/environnemen...

#INC5.2 negotiations for a treaty to ‘end plastic pollution’ ended without agreement after 11 days of negotiations — WECF “it is better to have no treaty than a bad treaty without options for improvememt! The proposed text was too weak on production reduction and health!” apnews.com/article/plas...

In Agence France Presse/France24, a story notes that today, in one of the most economically fragile countries on the planet, plastic is everywhere: lining the streets, strewn across beaches, clogging the drains. Read more here: www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The European Union and dozens of other countries have poured scorn on the new draft of a work-in-progress treaty to end plastic pollution, claiming the text is too weak and cedes too much ground to oil producers.

The #plasticpollution treaty negotiations have arrived at absolute low point, with a proposed text that is not even a global treaty - only voluntary reporting - and that has deleted key parts on protecting #health and human rights from toxic #chemicals in plastics! WECF, IPEN, WMG are demonstrating!

The negotiations for a global treaty to end #plastic pollution at #INC5 are going into their 2nd and final week, the Women’s Major Group with WECF France wears pink for a legally binding treaty and civil society are holding silent actions to call on delegate’s courage against fossil fuel bullies!
