But we need voices from every sector to shape a #PlasticsTreaty that truly delivers

Agreeing a #PlasticsTreaty to truly #BeatPlasticPollution depends on dialogue, transparency and trust.
But the science is clear: we don’t have unlimited time. As I said at #UNEA7, a historic plastics treaty is still within reach if we continue inclusive work together:

At #UNEA7, UN Secretary General António Guterres calls on countries to rise to this moment of environmental & geopolitical turbulence.
With climate impacts accelerating & ecosystems under strain, he underlined that resilience is no longer optional & the pathway to peace, justice, & a stable future.
