Joined July 2017
Had a good time repping @EIA_News on @SkyNews Climate Show talking to @tomheapmedia about my fave topic - you guessed it - the #PlasticsTreaty. Great to deep dive on the plastics and climate links, recycling, reuse and more! 📺 Watch from ~13mins in: https://t.co/UGnWWGqP5p

In the last couple of years this platform has become a toxic cesspit, promoting some of the worst politics and values. I can't bring myself to delete my account 🙈 but for months my campaign chat (mostly #PlasticsTreaty) has moved over to LinkedIn. Hope to see you there 🩷

Another great piece by @josephbwinters from @grist looking at the latest #PlasticsTreaty developments. Time to see the US sign the Bridge to Busan and start defending production controls in the negotiations, I think. 👀 All eyes across the pond https://t.co/B5iypLpsB7

In a reversal, the Biden administration will back production limits as part of the United Nations’ global plastics treaty.

The shift sparked accusations of betrayal from the plastics industry and celebrations from environmental campaigners and a Pacific negotiator

“If essential elements such as constraints on plastics production are not included...the magnitude of that mistake will only become more glaring by the day" - Federated States of Micronesia #PlasticsTreaty

EU negotiators and observers say it's unlikely that a strong plastics treaty will be done this year due to some countries' "delaying tactics"

Great reporting as always from @EmmaSAanne covering some of the key themes to emerge from the most recent round of #PlasticsTreaty talks. From consensus to production caps and the Bridge to Busan, this round up hits the key points from #INC4 cc @EIA_News

Me once again asking how we can actually end plastic pollution if we don't talk about producing less plastic 🙃 ...The perennial question of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations explored in this nice article in @REvents_SustBiz , also feat @oceanegger 👇 https://t.co/IKn9XvYiKn

The latest round of discussions about a United Nations Global Plastics treaty ended in Ottawa last week, the penultimate of five in which world governments have been trying to thrash out the wording...

Earlier today, EIA Climate Campaigner Kim O’Dowd addressed the House of Lords Committee of Environment and Climate Change on whether the #UK is on track to achieve its target under the Global Methane Pledge 🔥 More on #methane at https://t.co/uFWiNO0qGo

For #PlasticsTreaty & #INC4 people! Ready for #INC5? China-France statement apparently includes a few interesting lines which are worth your attention. Let me dive in a bit... https://t.co/9fZyVyBoOd

💡How we break free from brackets and avoid a lowest common denominator #PlasticsTreaty is currently the biggest consideration. @magnuslovold has covered this well here: https://t.co/uNatfjN4lM
After #INC4 for a #PlasticsTreaty in Ottawa🇨🇦 @HACplastic and other countries keen to prevent a lowest-common-denominator outcome will have to break free from the stymieing norms of environmental diplomacy #breakfreefrombrackets

For a strong outcome we need (amongst other things) 👉Formal and informal intersessional work across lifecycle & on finance 👉Political commitment on production 👉Inclusion of underrepresented voices in the corridor deals and prep process (e.g. SIDS, indigenous communities)

This @guardian article provides a good round up of where things were left, in particular the comments from @ciel_tweets ring true on countries caving as soon as they get a sideways look from big polluters https://t.co/dVZkXKHnY8

Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Peru 🇵🇪once again were pushing on need to address production and proposed clear recommendations. While originally they had support, this wavered completely on the final night, meaning a compromise to work on other topics left production out https://t.co/rLottvGPS0
Rwanda 🇷🇼 and Peru 🇵🇪 submit conference room paper #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty on: ❗Need for global reduction target ❗Transparency framework ❗Start and strengthen mechanism Would be great to see all @HACplastic and friends rally around this vision 👀 https://t.co/KWX77hynDE

Important to see mainstream news coverage of the negotiations - also with a framing on health and overproduction. I urge all media outlets to turn attention to what is happening in the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations as we head to Busan. https://t.co/NG0rV111XO
Great to have the chance to talk this week to @AlJazeera about the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations and the inescapable problem of #PlasticPollution in our bodies and environment @EIA_News @brkfreeplastic

Pacific Small Island Developing states, particularly 🇫🇯 and🇨🇰 led from the front on climate and plastics links and the need for an ambitious pathway. Special circumstances of SIDS are real and must be taken into consideration. Always in awe of @sivendram13 😍 📸K Worth/ENB

Indigenous People were at forefront in highlighting impacts to their communities. In particular Aamjiwnaang First Nation declared a state of emergency during #INC4 due to plastics emissions - a major reality check for those trying to push production out https://t.co/wAMRw5ZVQL
Powerful show of solidarity this morning for Aamjiwnaang First Nation community at #PlasticsTreaty negotiations - they have declared a state of emergency following a chemicals release from plastics facility. We must stop toxic pollution. https://t.co/xd56pvU6Fl

We also saw big lobbyist presence, not just the industry delegates outnumbering many country delegations but also intimidation of scientists and pro-plastics adverts blanketing the city. @joeloyo at @ClimateHome covered this well 👇 https://t.co/bXLujSnJMF 📸K Worth / ENB

‼️Whether we get that political commitment relies on intersessional attention, yet no mandate was agreed to work on production before Busan. Thus, we rely on the countries that are signing the 'Bridge to Busan' declaration to maintain this pressure https://t.co/hFxd9ZMAhV

👍Delegates negotiated text on plastics production - it remains on the table 👎 But as I told @josephbwinters at @grist - whether we end up with a treaty that deals with production at this stage is a matter of political commitment https://t.co/5fCCfd6AcE
grist.org
A deal to stop plastic pollution is moving forward, but negotiators can’t agree on whether to produce less of the stuff.

Alright! Finally had a big nap and ready to reflect on #PlasticsTreaty #INC4. Here's my thread 🧵 of the highs and lows, but firstly, a big shout out to the @EIA_News team that grafted around the clock on advocacy, strategy and content. Am in awe of my colleagues 😍
