@BCarneyAlmroth@ScientistsCoa highlights the need for chemical transparency & simplification
in #plastics design & production caps in the #PlasticsTreaty to return to safe planetary boundaries. She warns against delaying narratives from the industry playbook used to sow doubts.
@BCarneyAlmroth also shares that high-level industry representatives have imparted their aim to increase #plastic production and that chemical transparency is out of question because of industrial property rights & legal frameworks. #PlasticsTreaty
@CarolynDeere highlights the role of civil society in the global governance role of #plastics, e.g. the recent @minderoo report which provides overwhelming evidence on the effects of plastics and its chemicals on human health, especially on early & extremely sensitive life stage.
@CarolynDeere also highlights that we need to think hard about defining absolute #plastic production volumes and capacities and warns against defining individual levels for individual polymers as this might be used to increase production of certain plastics in the long run.
@BCarneyAlmroth emphasizes the importance of full transparency on who has access to the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations given the restrictions imposed by @UNEP (1 person/organization).
Elephant in the room: Does this also apply to industry organisations? Full disclosure is needed!

1/ As #OceanCleanUp seeks to make a wave to strengthen its business model,it's important to remember that #plastic pollution is not just a waste issue,which is why a mandate was given to negotiate an agreement that covers the entire life cycle of #plastics.nature.com/articles/s4301…
2/ In one of the webinars that I visited recently to prepare for these negotiations, it was said, that there is now overwhelming evidence of health effects at every stage of #plastics lifecycle, nicely put together in the @minderoo report 👇#PlasticsTreaty annalsofglobalhealth.org/articles/10.53…
1/n Heute möchte ich Werbung für eine neue Strategie machen die uns zielgerichtet weiterbringen könnte: kommunale Klimaentscheide unterstützt durch @germanzero! Es läuft dabei darauf hinaus,für Deine Stadt/Ort einen Bürger:innentscheid für Klimaneutralität 2030/2035 durchzuführen
2/n
-Forme ein Kernteam
-Erstelle mit @GermanZero einen #Klimastadtplan
-Nutze Netzwerke & sammle die erforderlichen Unterschriften f ein Bürger:innenbegehren
-Falls erfolgreich sammelt ihr Unterschriften für einen Bürger:innenentscheid. Am besten bei #BTW21 (hohe Beteiligung)
3/n
-Falls erfolgreich habt ihr ein VERBINDLICHES Klimagesetz (basierend auf Klimastadtplan), z.B. #Klimaneutral2030! @Germanzero will auch nach der BTW21 ein #1o5°Gesetz zur Verabschiedung in den Bundestag einbringen.
1/3 “[B]ecause of the immense size and depth of the ocean,” Brito-Morales explains, “warming that will already have been absorbed at the ocean surface will mix into deeper waters, meaning that marine life in the deep ocean ... cosmosmagazine.com/nature/animals…

"This suggests that while mitigation could limit climate change threats for surface biodiversity, deep-ocean biodiversity faces an unavoidable escalation in climate velocities, most prominently in the mesopelagic (200–1000 m)." (from the original study) 👇🏾 rdcu.be/b4sPJ
Uff, wir sind über unseren Schatten gesprungen: auf dem Nachhauseweg haben wir mit den anderen PendlerInnen über die #Klimakrise und #NeustartKlima gesprochen. Das Format #traintalk war gar nicht schlimm, am Ende wurde sogar geklatscht 😊! Das machen wir jetzt öfter! Und Du so?!
