The @BizForTreaty has released its initial reaction to the 'zero draft' of the #plasticstreaty. We believe it forms a good basis to continue negotiations!. Business responds to certainty; governments should seek to progress negotiations at INC-3 based on this draft.
We welcome the ‘Zero Draft’, a comprehensive document that contains various options for potential treaty provisions, and a good basis to continue negotiations towards a legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution. 1/4. #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #Biz4PlasticsTreaty #INC3

“Stop the boats” didn’t work so now this? Vile attempts to divide our communities. Where are you @Keir_Starmer?.
Who'd have thought that a government elected on the promise of “the most ambitious environmental programme of any country on earth” would want to make new oil & gas licenses & standing up for air pollution) its political dividing lines?.1/2.
