In addition to concerns with #CCS we need to add concerns with growing lobby towards #CDR , including in the ocean. We still don't have scientific litterature backing large scale projects on carbon removal from the ocean. Fondation Tara Océan

Chair: Well, that was fun. Thank you for spending the last 4 hours repeating positions you only got to express about 78 times.

BTW, we all know the final decision will be made by China, the US and the EU so not sure what we're doing here.

Great new article by David Willima + Ilhan Dahir incl. varied & promising opportunities for African states emanating from #BBNJ #HighSeasTreaty .
The African group was a major driving force in shaping #BBNJ (eloquently put by Ambassador Michael Imran Kanu, SJD : ftbchambers.co.uk/elblog/view/th…)

#COP28 starts with agreement of Loss and Damage Fund and substantial financial commitments made for a first capitalization. A good beginning to a complex COP.

Amazing progress and concrete impact of Ocean & Climate Platform since 2014. Bientôt dix ans ! Bringing ocean action to the climate talks seems natural, but it was not the case when we started ten years ago! Fondation Tara Océan Romain Troublé

No mandate for Intersessional...bad news. Next chapter in Ottawa in April. We keep following the process for an ambitious treaty with clear reduction targets. And ban on toxic chemicals. Fondation Tara Océan

Very important. No Ocean cleanup is realistic beyond specific limited ecosystems as rivers, lakes, etc. Plastics on sea, solutions on land. Reduce, reduce, reduce. #stopfalsesolutions #PlasticsTreaty

Plastic credits exchange (PCX) systems are been pushed as a solution in the context of the #PlasticsTreaty . Plastic Offsetting. Delegates please don't make the same mistakes we did with Carbon market 20 years ago. Stop false solutions we need to reduce! breakfreefromplastic.org/2023/11/16/pre…
