Dr. Melanie Bergmann<p>🤶 Hohoho? Now that the deadline for submissions has passed and all contact groups have ended, delegates and observers are wondering what text the (co-)chairs will put together overnight as the basis for the crucial remaining negotiations of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/INC5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INC5</span></a> for a global <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PlasticsTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticsTreaty</span></a>! 🎁</p>
Dr. Melanie Bergmann<p>Strong intervention by youth delegates 🥺 who were only allowed to speak after several member states asked the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/INC5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INC5</span></a> chair to do so: we need to cut <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plastic</span></a> production to reduce pollution for our youth &amp; future generations, plastic doesn‘t go away &amp; causes CO2 emissions! <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PlasticsTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticsTreaty</span></a>.</p>
Dr. Melanie Bergmann<p>Science has shown that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plastic</span></a> pollution is driven by plastic production, i.e. supply. Supply-side measures are thus essential to adequately tackle pollution and its effects on human and ecosystem health as well as climate! <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PlasticsTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticsTreaty</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/INC5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INC5</span></a><br><a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba3656" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc</span><span class="invisible">e.aba3656</span></a></p>
Dr. Melanie Bergmann<p>Excellent intervention by delegate from Colombia, pointing out that some parties are ‚negotiating‘ in bad faith. Followed by Panama urging all parties to rise to the challenge („assault on the planet“). <br>Right, let‘s get this done, time is of the essence now! 💪. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PlasticsTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticsTreaty</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/INC5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>INC5</span></a></p>
