As the rapporteur in our process, the world wants
an end to plastic pollution. The world needs an
end to plastic pollution. And I ask you to
deliver this instrument this week that puts us on the
road for just that for thousands of days, months
and years to come. As the world gathers for
this critical phase of the global plastics treaty negotiations.
Greenpeace reminds governments that the eyes of the world are
on you. The decisions made here will determine whether
we confront the plastics crisis with the ambition, it
demands or allow the fossil fuel and petrochemical interests to
derail progress. The science is clear without urgent action
, plastic production will triple by 2050 further fueling the
climate crisis, polluting ecosystems and endangering human health.
A weak treaty is a failed treaty.
