The #plasticstreaty is at a crossroads. We need a dynamic chair who isn’t afraid to upset the apple cart if we are going to get a treaty that fulfills the mandate.
As Chair Luis Vayas steps down, GAIA urges the Bureau to elect a Global South leader who can unite the ambitious majority and deliver the strong, just #PlasticsTreaty the world needs.
