#Plastic production is set to triple by 2060, fueled by petrochemical-producing countries.

A global “#PlasticsCrisis” is costing governments & taxpayers $1.5 trillion annually as they try to cope with escalating injuries, #disability & #deaths as the substance pollutes our land, seas & bodies, acc/to a new report by leading #medical journal The Lancet.

I’m following the negotiations in Ottawa for a #PlasticsTreaty at #INC4.
Like Climate conferences #fossilfuel and petrochemical delegates are now a substantial number to influence the outcomes. #PlasticsCrisis #Microplastics https://takvera.blogspot.com/2024/04/negotiations-for-global-plastics-treaty.html

New study shows that #PlasticPollution is tightly linked to #PlasticProduction, there is literally a 1 to 1 relationship between them! Plastic production reduction is key, especially for single use.

Something for negotiators at #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty to consider.

Magnus Løvold, from the Norwegian Academy of International Law, provides perceptive comment on Medium: As the third round of the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations wraps up in Nairobi, one thing is clear: Someone must go.

The #FossilFuel Petro-states are obstructing, delaying, obfuscating.
