The fifth and final round of Plastics Treaty talks pick back up in November and it’s going to be down to the wire.
Time is running out!
World leaders must gear up to choose: planet or fossil fuel profits? If we are going to win a strong treaty, we need world Governments to get off the sidelines, dig deep and come into negotiations ready to get to work on an ambitious agreement that drastically cuts plastic production and ends single-use plastic. Anything less, and the treaty could fail!
The New Zealand Government has supported a global plastics treaty in the past, but we need to make sure they show up and hold firm now.
PETITION: Global Plastics Treaty
This is a race for our planet’s future.
Not only is plastic drowning our oceans, killing wildlife, harming our health, and fueling the climate crisis. But plastic production is predicted to triple by 2050… unless world leaders step up to turn off the tap.
That’s why securing a strong and ambitious treaty is critical.
Plastic is big money, and the oil and gas industry will try to do everything in their power to weaken ambition and push countries to cosign a very bad Global Plastics Treaty in South Korea this year that serves industry, not people.
We must demand a treaty that keeps oil and gas used to produce plastic in the ground, stops big polluters with their relentless plastic production, and ensures a just transition to a reuse-based economy!
And with people power and an unstoppable global movement holding world leaders accountable to deliver an ambitious treaty, we can win!! More than two million people around the world have already signed the global petition to world leaders — asking for a strong Global Plastics Treaty!
We need world leaders to go the distance and fight back against the oil and plastic industry to deliver a strong and ambitious treaty that cuts plastic production for people, planet, and climate!
Add your name now.
Call on the NZ Government to stand firm and support a strong global plastics treaty.
