We are a network turning science to solutions 🌎 🌎 Mapping the sources of ocean plastic 🐋 Studying the impacts on communities and wildlife ✨ Testing innovations to keep the ocean clean Let’s turn the tide on ocean plastic in the Eastern Pacific 🌊 #ScienceToSolutions

Congratulations Luis Vayas Valdivieso on your appointment as vice chair of the #globalplasticstreaty bureau #INC2

Inspiring talk from Fabienne McLellan OceanCare at #INC2 (the only woman on panel), highlighting damage by FADs and #Ghostgear to endangered species and future food security - the fishing industry needs to transform and quick, to be advocates for their (and our) lifeblood, the ocean

As we kick-off negotiations at #PlasticsINC, imp. to remember its all about eliminating unnecessary plastic & redesign including: 🔺Redesign of packaging & shipping 🔺Redesign for reuse/refill/ recyclability 🔺Redesign for broader system for justice bit.ly/43nioXM

Day 1 Paris #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #INC2 - an awful lot of geopolitical posturing and shockingly little discussion about #plasticpollution. Energy and spirits lifted by the amazing community of NGOs here though, raising the voices of those most affected #PowerToThePeople

Ending day 1 with a high energy demonstration outside #INC2 🙌 Communities calling for an inclusive #PlasticsTreaty

As we negotiate the #PlasticsTreaty in Paris, we have a once in a planet opportunity to get it right. To end plastic pollution in our oceans & on lands. To protect human & animal health. To protect all that matters to us. So let's get this done together. #BeatPlasticPollution.

>13,000 chemicals are associated with plastics, leaking from manufacture to disposal. Time to consider sustainable chemistry at the design stage #inc2 #PlasticsTreaty Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions

Shocking, impactful, creative, devastating, amusing, insightful, impactful comms campaign here in Paris at #inc2 #plasticstreaty by No Plastic Waste Minderoo Foundation. Meet #theplasticforecast, highlighting how we designed a pollutant so pervasive it is in our air, water, soils & bodies

Day 3 - we have some traction! Regional groups now presenting at #inc2 #plasticstreaty, EU reminds us the world is watching, we must get a legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution by the end of 2024

Did you know 59% of all global #recycling is done by waste pickers? We must involve them from the beginning of solution design, legislation, implementation, operations. Illuminating side event talk by Retorna #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

Today I wrote to The Independent about the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to secure a strong and comprehensive #GlobalPlasticTreaty that protects Small Island Developing States against the existential #plasticpollution threat they face. The stakes could not be higher.

Third day of #INC2 in Paris 🇫🇷. As Ecuador 🇪🇨, we are convinced that in order to achieve an effective negotiation of the future treaty on #PlasticPollution, we need: 🔵 Effective binding and regulatory measures in our treaty 🔵 Design standards, including for safe circularity

Small island states even with progressive environmental policies are being unfairly impacted by floating plastic pollution from outside sources. Waste management facilities do not have the tech to deal with it. This is a social justice issue Matthew Moorefield #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

Old ocean plastic that is very degraded and biofouled represents a major recycling challenge particularly in #SIDs (let alone a major risk to ecosystems due to rafting invasive species) - a threat we see in #Galapagos Pacific Plastics: Science to Solutions Galapagos Conservation Trust AOSIS #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

Interesting point from Common Seas, waste management is never going to be the feasible solution, land is precious and should not be for ever-growing landfills. Inspiring work on SIDs, congratulations for all your achievements to date! #INC2 #PlasticsTreaty

Introducing our surprise guest at Galapagos Day 2023! A huge thank you to Sir Stephen Fry for supporting GCT and our ongoing work to rewild the Galapagos Islands, which includes reintroducing ‘keystone species’ such as giant tortoises! #GalapagosDay2023 #RewildingGalapagos 📷© GCT

I’ve always wanted to visit the remarkable #Galápagos Islands. Even more so now I’ve seen examples of the remarkable work being done by the Galapagos Conservation Trust @galapgossip to save some of the world’s rarest species from extinction.
