There is a date for INC-5.3! But, it is only for "administrative purposes with the focus on election of officers including for the position of Chair". It will take place in Geneva on 7 February, immediatedly after the first session of the ISP-CWP (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Panel on Chemicals, Waste and Pollution).

We’ve just hit a major ocean protection milestone at the UN Ocean Conference — 50 countries have now ratified the Global Ocean Treaty! This means we only need 10 more before we can start using the Treaty to create ocean sanctuaries 🌍💙
Let’s keep swimming forward, because we’re almost there 🐠💪
Tell your government to protect the oceans NOW!

No #PlasticsTreaty agreement. It sounds like a block of oil-producing nations like Saudi Arabia are refusing to commit to cuts in production. #INC5 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution

The plastic paradox: How plastics went from elephant saviors to #EcoVillains
Do the benefits of plastics outweigh the costs?by Ross Pomeroy
January 23, 2024"It was 1869, and something needed to be done.
"With the price of ivory skyrocketing, billiard ball manufacturers were scrambling for an alternative. The prized material derived from elephant tusks was being used to craft such things as knife handles, piano keys, dice, dominoes, chessmen, and yes, billiard balls. Now, with #elephants growing scarce from overhunting, the wonder material was becoming difficult to procure and unreasonably expensive. After all, one tusk would yield just four or five balls. Leading pool table manufacturer Phelan and Collender offered $10,000 ($225,000 today) to any inventor who could discover a replacement for ivory.
"Albany inventor John Wesley Hyatt answered the call, molding together camphor, nitrocellulose, and alcohol under extreme pressure. His concoction, called celluloid, was one of the first synthetic plastics. While Hyatt’s creation proved an unwieldy material for billiard balls — insufficiently durable and mildly explosive when struck — it inspired others to formulate something better. A few decades later, American chemist Leo Baekeland came up with the petroleum-derived Bakelite. It became the first commercially successful synthetic plastic, and very likely saved elephants from #extinction."
[The article goes on to mention how #plastics and #PFAS are interconnected...]
"According to the authors of the report, plastic additives may be the most pernicious. These substances augment plastics to make them more useful to consumers: stronger, more pliable, less #flammable, non-stick, etc. However, large observational studies and research in lab animals indicate they are harming human health.
"The substances could be increasing cancer rates, reducing birth weights, inhibiting antibody responses to vaccines, raising blood pressure, and contributing to infertility. These compounds include polybrominated diphenyl ethers (#PBDE), phthalates, bisphenol A (#BPA), and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS).
"Philip J. Landrigan, a professor, pediatrician, and Director of the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College, is the lead author of the Minderoo-Monaco Commission report. He spoke with Big Think about the potential harms of plastic additives.
"Landrigan was a pediatrician during the 1970s, when lead in gasoline, paints, and toys was secretly poisoning children. He says chemicals leaching from plastics constitute a similar threat: As they’re not chemically bound to the plastic matrix, they can easily escape into the environment. #PBDEs, added as #FlameRetardants in furniture and other products, have been found in house dust and are neurotoxic, he says.
“The thousands of chemicals in plastics — #monomers, additives, processing agents, and non-intentionally added substances — include amongst their number known human #carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, #neurotoxicants, and persistent organic #pollutants,' Landrigan and his fellow authors wrote in the report.
"Given these negative effects, it may seem as if plastic is a fire-breathing dragon. While it began as an ally, it has now turned against us. If we don’t get the dragon back under control, it could spell our downfall.
"To respond to threats from plastics, the experts on the Minderoo-Monaco Commission called for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty comparable to the Paris Climate Agreement to combat climate change. As part of the treaty, they insist that a 'cap on global plastic production with targets, timetables, and national contributions' is needed. Global plastic use is estimated to nearly triple by 2060."

What's happening at the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations in Ottawa?
According to the Center for International Environmental Law, 196 representatives of fossil fuel and chemical companies have registered to attend.
That's three times more than the number of independent scientists (58), and seven times more than the number of Indigenous Peoples representatives (28).
Say no to plastic and fossil fuel industry lobbyists.

The problem of plastic pollution is too big for any one nation to handle. That’s why we need a global approach. It’s worked before with the ozone layer and acid rain and it can work again with plastic.
We need a global treaty to solve plastic pollution – acid rain and ozone depletion show us why

The #INC3 negotiations are happening now.
In order to #BreakFreeFromPlastic, world leaders, including New Zealand, MUST push for a STRONG Global Plastics Treaty at the negotiating table.
Here's what that looks like:

Global Plastics Treaty #INC2 Outcomes:
*Delegates mandated the INC Secretariat to prepare a zero-draft of the treaty in advance of INC-3.
* INC3 scheduled for Nairobi, Kenya in November 2023, to work on a Zero draft.
* Committee welcomed offers to host INC-4 by Canada (Ottawa April 2024) and INC-5 by the Republic of Korea towards the end of 2024.The options paper from INC2 will inform the ‘zero draft’, the text with legal language that will form the blueprint of the final treaty.
An important decision will be what kind of treaty: a treaty focused on global obligations, where every country needs to comply with an international set of standards (like the Montreal Protocol or Minamata Convention)? Or should it be a treaty that relies on nationally determined measures, where countries set their own goals and targets (like the Paris Agreement)?
I also focussed on Australia's role, which adopted a high ambition for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty.
