I watched an interesting talk this evening: https://www.hampshireskeptics.org/25th-february-2026-taking-off-the-blindfold-about-plastic-waste-how-making-waste-visible-changes-behaviour/

About what types of messages caused which types of people to reduce thei volume of single-use plastics they use.

Magnus Løvold, from the Norwegian Academy of International Law, provides perceptive comment on Medium: As the third round of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations wraps up in Nairobi, one thing is clear: Someone must go.

The #FossilFuel Petro-states are obstructing, delaying, obfuscating.

More than 140 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have been admitted to participate in the #INC3 #PlasticsTreaty talks meeting this week in Nairobi.

That’s more participants than 70 countries combined.
It is also greater than the 38 Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty participants.

IPEN Co-Chair Dr. Tadesse Amera: “consequences of increasing plastic production will be disastrous for our health, the planet, & the climate. So the stakes are high… need for global controls on chemicals in #plastics and for limits on plastic production”

Global Plastics Treaty #INC2 Outcomes:

*Delegates mandated the INC Secretariat to prepare a zero-draft of the treaty in advance of INC-3.
* INC3 scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya in November 2023, to work on a Zero draft.
* Committee welcomed offers to host INC-4 by Canada (Ottawa April 2024) and INC-5 by the Republic of Korea towards the end of 2024.

The options paper from INC2 will inform the ‘zero draft’, the text with legal language that will form the blueprint of the final treaty.

An important decision will be what kind of treaty: a treaty focused on global obligations, where every country needs to comply with an international set of standards (like the Montreal Protocol or Minamata Convention)? Or should it be a treaty that relies on nationally determined measures, where countries set their own goals and targets (like the Paris Agreement)?

I also focussed on Australia's role, which adopted a high ambition for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty.

« Six million metric tonnes more single-use plastic was produced in 2021 than in 2019.
More than half of global production in 2021 could be traced back to just 20 petrochemical companies. 😠😱
