Following the collapse of U.N. talks in Geneva this month, limited pathways are available to address the global plastic pollution crisis, @joshualinco1n writes. https://t.co/jSOlxArDST

As #INC5 opens today in #Busan, here’s the video ( https://t.co/Z3PICzuTz0) of my #KelloggCollege Annual HR Lecture earlier this month at @UniofOxford: Towards a global #PlasticsTreaty: Emerging Questions of #HumanRights and Global Ethics. Tx to @KelloggOx @NazilaGhanea!

@ciel_tweets @melissabluesky @AnzizuDe @magnuslovold @FletcherLawLLM @Davzoul @IUCN_Plastics @TESSForum @GVAGrad_GGC @unige_int Joshua Lincoln of @FletcherLawLLM stresses that fundamental questions through an effective instrument must be addressed from the get-go; otherwise, problems will persist. He highlights different pathways of participation, inclusion & ratification, once a treaty is adopted.

#Live now! Join this #GENeva #BeatPlasticPollution Dialogue to explore lessons learned from various multilateral spaces towards informing the design of an effective #PlasticsTreaty on the #RoadToBusan #INC5. ▶️ https://t.co/rP3miOtVqy 📹 https://t.co/F9jS9KLnsf

First duty this morning at the @UNRwanda am excited to be speaking at event focused on “Mapping capacity and Knowledge Gaps to accelerate the Implementation of Global Environmental Commitments” organized by @Northeastern under the leadership of the amazing Prof. @mivanova .

“we need a treaty with teeth!” : Panelist from the finance sector at the Planet Tracker event on petrochemicals at RockPlaza. Risks not currently being disclosed by major industry petrochemicals & plastics producers … #inc5 #bridgetobusan #PlasticsTreaty

Ambassadors and officials @UN can agree on 2⃣ things. 1⃣The 🇺🇳 needs serious reform to deal with global challenges. 2⃣ In today’s tense climate its members will find it difficult, perhaps impossible, to agree on even limited reforms. Me @LMdiplo 👇 https://t.co/oXxzCYv5k6

Negotiators of an international treaty on plastic pollution just concluded their fourth session, leaving the talks with just one more scheduled session and no agreement on the scope of the future treaty nor any narrowing of options, @joshualinco1n writes. https://t.co/3rBypLweXx

Hard post-#INC4 questions for negotiators: A Toothless Treaty Won't Solve the Plastics Crisis

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

I had a feeling before the Ottawa 🇨🇦 round of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations that it would feel different this time. I still have that feeling #BanProblematicPlastics 🌎

#INC4: “The strategy and rules that guided the first half will not secure the second…The ‘like-minded’ have already moved into a more agile, political, and risk-embracing negotiating mode. Is it time for everyone else to do the same?”

An effective #PlasticsTreaty may be within reach, as ⁦@LuisVayasEc⁩ takes the reins of the #INC4 negotiations in Ottawa 🇨🇦 — live at 10am EST https://t.co/iDDHajQZhU

The #INC4 in Ottawa 🇨🇦 may become a make or break moment for the #PlasticsTreaty. Will countries calling for a strong treaty with global binding rules continue to tolerate bad faith spoiler tactics? Or will they press on, even if spoilers decide to walk out?

Happy International Women's Day! We're celebrating women who have changed the world. Here's all of the amazing women who have received the #NobelPrize and their remarkable achievements at the time of the award. Who are the women who inspire you the most? #IWD2024

What is the future generation concerned about going into 2024? GGF's @joshualinco1n recently visited #Lucknow #India where he posed the question to young people attending the @CmsJaiJagat. With Bright young minds like this the future certainly looks promising! #youthvoices

I agree: gaping loopholes and woefully short for our Islands friends, but the #COP28 'UAE consensus' is a modest-yet-critical marker in the slow turn of the first Paris decade. #Azerbaijan & #Brazil up next to close it out. Frost says it best: "promises to keep, and miles to go"
