The cost for damages caused by plastic pollution could be as high as $281.8 trillion between 2016 & 2040—2.5 times Germany’s annual GDP. Inaction costs more than measures to reduce plastic pollution. It’s time to cap plastic production! #PlasticsTreaty theconversation.com/plastic-pollut…

Let's remind #PlasticsTreaty negotiators: the full lifecycle of plastics starts at the point of extraction of raw materials. We want an effective treaty that addresses the root cause of the plastic crisis. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5

Day 4, INC5 - Diplomacy #101 We're on Day 4 of the fifth (& final) negotiations, and delegates are still deciding what the mandate should include. Every clause that addresses plastic pollution across its lifecycle? Not in the mandate! #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5

The Right to Development is often used as an argument to enable petrochemical expansion. Yet historically, plastics haven't been integral to any country's development. #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

Plastic is toxic ☠️ from its production up to its disposal, leaving a lasting mark on communities around the globe. 🌍 We need to have a global #plasticstreaty that ensures voices of frontline communities are heard in the #INC5 negotiations. 🧵 #BreakFreeFromPlastic
