The protection guaranteed by the #HighSeasTreaty should be applied to some unclaimed Mediterranean areas, which would fall into the beyond national jurisdiction category and therefore in the BBNJ Agreement's scope. Read Camille Loth & Giuseppe Di Carlo's opinion on @mongabay.com ⬇️

Klima scorer høyest på hva velgerne mener er den viktigste utfordringen verden står overfor i dag. Og alle krisene verden står overfor har én ting til felles: Klimaendringer og tap av natur gjør alt verre. Så la oss gi natur og klima en plass når vi stemmer! www.abcnyheter.no/nyheter/valg...

Talks on world’s first plastic pollution treaty stall one day before deadline - Almost 100 countries reject draft treaty as ‘unambitious’ and ‘inadequate’ #plasticstreaty www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This simple science tool visualizes where plastic goes AND where it comes form: plasticadrift.org #PlasticsTreaty #INC5 delegates, you can use this to see where your high-seas plastic comes form. Terms like "accumulation zones" do not capture this movement. That's why we should not focus on them.

SiPeng with @C4Center speaks about the need for the #PlasticsTreaty to cover #wastetrade provisions that are not covered under the #BaselConvention and better text to protect #wastepickers - 📍@GAIAnoburn #INC52 press conference

Beaucoup de pays ont affirmé en plénière leur rejet du texte comme base de négociations. Nous demandons la poursuite des négociations sur une base de texte ambitieuse qui réintègre le lien entre plastique et santé, ainsi que la réduction de la production. #plasticstreaty (4/4)

#Fiji Delegate Dr. S. Michael at @GAIAnoburn #INC52 #PlasticsTreaty press conference: 'For the #PSIDS, the lack of article 6 is of concern (...) We cannot keep mopping the floor without turning off the tap. We need legally binding global measures to control [plastic] production.'

Our reaction to the newly proposed Chair's text and #INC52 state of play under 24 hours until #PlasticsTreaty negotiation deadlines. At this critical juncture, decisive action must be taken to agree an ambitious treaty that safeguards our health, our ocean, and our futures from #plasticpollution. 🌍

📢Final day of negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty at #INC52 We are calling on governments for ambition and courage to ensure a strong and effective final treaty which addresses global #plasticpollution across the full lifecycle, including #plastic pellets➡️ hub.nurdlehunt.org/solutions/un...

Al Jazeera: No agreement in sight as UN plastic pollution treaty talks enter final day #PlasticTalks #PlasticsTalks #PlasticTreaty #PlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution #Plastic #Plastics #Microplastics "... dozens of countries rejected the latest draft text." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

Happy to see strong support for the negotiations for a global #PlasticsTreaty, aiming for binding measures across the entire life cycle of plastics, by 🇦🇹🇺🇳 colleagues A. Kreilhuber, M. Wilson, and the Canadian Mission. The Thinker’s Burden by Benjamin Von Wong is a reminder of the urgency.

As the clock runs out on #INC5_2, delegates are set to meet in a plenary at 4:30 pm. Heads of Delegation met with INC Chair Luis Vayas after regional consultations on the Chair's Draft Text Proposal. New/revised text may be circulated later today. #PlasticsTreaty @unep.org

#BehindTheScenes A press conference, "Without Waste Pickers, #JustTransition Fails", is now ongoing at #PlasticsTreaty #INC5.2.

The only way to reduce microplastic exposure is to cut plastic production. Tell world leaders to step up and deliver a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production:

"There’s nowhere untouched by it on the planet." Dr Stephanie Wright from @imperialsph.bsky.social delves into the scientific evidence about how #plastic harms #health, with @claudiahammond.bsky.social. Listen from 01:25 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #PlasticsTreaty

At #INC5_2 in Geneva, delegates continue to meet in informal settings to make progress on the text for a new #PlasticsTreaty. Plenary has been rescheduled for 6:00 pm, with many hoping to consider a new/revised text. #plasticpollution

On the (hopefully) last day of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations, I get to check out the diplomatic swag at the United Nations bookstore. Geneva #INC5.2, the world is in your hands. But don’t confuse it with a stress ball! And could we include an article phasing down plastic versions of Earth?

"It's important to spend every single hour of the last day of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations finding a good text that can deliver on the promise to end plastic pollution," said CIEL's @giuliacrl.bsky.social No deal would be better than a watered-down deal bit.ly/3HBBFiR

#PlasticsTreaty talks are stalled over lack of ambition, with the Chair’s draft being described by Greenpeace International as a “gift to the petrochemical industry & a betrayal of humanity." 🚨⏳Govts have hours to stand up & deliver a treaty that cuts production.
