The Scientists' Coalition works to ensure that member states have access to the best available science and knowledge. We identify the knowledge gaps, misunderstandings or misinformation that require clarification and evidence.

Lots of things happening in the world right now, including a triple planetary crisis of #ClimateChange #BiodiversityLoss and #Pollution. And at the same time, science is being undermined. These problems are global and require global action. Plastics pollution affects all 3.

Today, the Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty, sent a letter to the Bureau of the INC for the Global Plastics Treaty. We stress the crucial importance of #science and observer participation, transparency and evidence-based decisions in the #INC.

#PlasticPollution worsens the impacts on all #PlanetaryBoundaries.

From accelerating climate change to driving ocean acidification and biodiversity loss, plastic pollution amplifies global crises.

I did it.
I officially deleted my account at the other place. It was no longer tenable.
Happy here, so far so good 😊

Arrived home from the #PlasticsTreaty meeting in Busan and found this on my desk. 😊

🙏 @jptilsted.bsky.social I am looking forward to reading!!

(Though I might rest my mind and soul for a few days first. #INC5 was a doozy).

The shift in narrative in our understanding comes out of the dedication and hard work or so many different people, children and youth, delegates, scientists, community activists and communicators.

👋 Hey INC-5 delegates!

👩🏽‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬🧑🏼‍🔬 Did you know that more than 900 independent scientists have signed a new declaration calling UN negotiators to agree on a comprehensive and ambitious global plastics treaty to end plastic pollution by 2040?

Any solutions for a sustainable future should be based on the best available science, guided by the right to science, and developed together with Indigenous People and other important knowledge and rights holders.

Oil interests impede plastics treaty progress. These #ConflictsOfInterest threaten the #HumanRight to health and a clean environment. Robust independent #science should provide evidence to support treaty negotiations.
