“I must call out the flood of fossil fuel expansion we are seeing in some of the world’s wealthiest countries, in signing such a surge of new oil and gas licenses, they are signing away our future. Countries must phase out fossil fuels – fast & fairly.” — António Guterres



This Financial Times article makes clear: to negotiate a #PlasticsTreaty that fails to reduce plastic production is to sacrifice human health. With INC-5 just months away, the US must show courage by publicly crystalizing its support for plastic production reduction. ft.com/content/3ac9d4…


On the heels of the hottest summer on record, the US is poised for a #petrochemical buildout that would add more emissions than all US commercial aviation. Barnaby Pace and I wrote a piece on why this is a mistake we can't afford. commondreams.org/opinion/us-pet…




For those of you who haven't been keeping a list of all the wild places microplastics are showing up, Emily Atkin has. Don't miss this must read complete with dolphins, babies, sperm, and the #PlasticsTreaty 🐬🍆💦👶🏽


Plastic pollution is all around us and even inside us – from our seas to our blood & our brains. Next month, United Nations member countries will have the chance to agree on a global treaty to end plastic pollution – once & for all. An ambitious, credible & just agreement is the only way.


Friends, The Associated Press is hiring an Oceans & Climate Reporter. Can't wait to work with whoever lands this. careers.ap.org/job/Los-Angele…

The world cannot afford a weak or voluntary treaty that prioritizes industry interests over human and planetary health, write @andresdelcas.bsky.social and Lindsey Jurca Durland of Center for International Environmental Law. commondreams.org/opinion/world-…

🚨Observer access at #INC5 has been severely limited due to inadequate room capacity, jeopardizing transparency & accountability of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations. UN Environment Programme & South Korea must act now to ensure inclusive, meaningful participation for all. bit.ly/4g3GbSV


🎤 Mic drop moment from Juan Carlos Monterrey got us fired up as we step into the final hours of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations!
