#inc1 — Public Fediverse posts

3/ At #INC1 for the #PlasticsTreaty no precautions were taken other than asking for an upload of the vaccination records b4 departure. After quite a few cases emerged early on, some rapid tests could be purchased (10x as expensive as in Germany) from the conference. I know of MANY cases, plus it was very mixed with people who may not have access to great healthcare incl. vaccines. I much preferred the South Korean way with daily tests!

Interesting read: "Despite relying on fossil feedstock and being solidly placed in the fossil economy, petrochemical majors increasingly focus on repositioning themselves proactively as transition enablers." #INC1 #fossilfuel #playbook

I have been following #INC1 from an Australian perspective with this live blog which I am now bringing to a close with excerpts from the final summary report of ENB/IISB

“We have one giant, global plastic pollution problem, and a thousand suggestions on how to solve it.”
ENB/IISD summary report of the #INC1 negotiations for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

* Mandatory and Voluntary elements divergence
* downstream control measures divergence on recycling issues
* Lifecycle definition still needed.
* Voting procedure pushed to #INC2.
* Top down or bottom up treaty or a hybrid model?
* Divergence on Conflict of Interest participation of Stakeholders
* Means of Implementation key, including finance, capacity building, technical assistance, and technology transfer.

Following lobbyism for so-called ocean cleanup at #INC1, more #greenwashing and technofixes vs ocean #plastics as a business model on arrival at ⁦@[email protected]⁩. 😠 We have to turn off the tap!

An amazing thread summarizing an important first #INC for the #PlasticsTreaty.

Good bye, Punta del Este and #Uruguay! Grateful for all the help and great hospitality received! It‘s a real pity that I cannot explore this beautiful countryside seen during the bus ride to the airport. #INC1

✔️ “Plastics are not anymore being seen as just a marine litter issue. People are discussing #plastic as a material made of chemicals," said Vito Buonsante, policy adviser for the Int. Pollutants Elimination Network.”There has been a narrative shift."#INC1 https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/countries-split-plastics-treaty-focus-un-talks-close-2022-12-03/

Die 1. Verhandlungsrunde #INC1 für ein globales #Plastik Abkommen ist geschafft! 1000 Dank für die herzliche Gastfreundschaft der Menschen von Punta del Este, #Uruguay und an das tolle deutsche Team! Hoffen wir dass #INC2 mehr Substanz bringt,um Plastikverschmutzung zu mindern!🤞

We have a decision: #INC2 will be held in #Paris. Russia opposed the Canadian application for #INC3 because of visa issues of its delegates for the UN Biodiversity negotiations. #INC1 #PlasticsTreaty #Plastic

So grateful I could be part of this great & ambitious ⁦⁦@[email protected]⁩ coordination team, particularly to the incredible leadership of the Swedish delegation that steered us calmly & well-prepared through #INC1! What an experience! #PlasticsTreaty ⁦@[email protected]⁩

So grateful for the brief yet powerful interventions by the UK delegation during #INC1. Such a shame it left the EU.

Final day of #INC1. So many important procedural decisions on the agenda.Where will #INC2 & 3 take place? Who will be in the Bureau? Multi-Stakeholder Fora? How will brackets in rule 37 affect the process? Will we have a functional progress at the end of #INC1? 🫣 #PlasticsTreaty

@jhaue here is my blog on the #INC1 #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations at Punta del Este, Uruguay, with an Australian focus. https://takvera.blogspot.com/2022/11/australia-and-negotiations-for-global.html#inc1summaries

Important takes from today’s #INC1, e.g.
„TRASH HERO WORLD suggested that the #ILBI consider monitoring the health & human rights impacts for workers in petrochemical facilities & called to disincentivize false solutions such as #incineration of #plastic.“ https://enb.iisd.org/plastic-pollution-marine-environment-negotiating-committee-inc1-daily-report-1dec2022

Great Intervention by the EU acknowledging the urgency of the triple planetary crisis & the importance of integrating the best available independent science into the #INC1 process. It was highlighted that despite further need for science, we have enough knowledge to #ActNow!#INC1
