Over 160 civil society organizations reaffirmed the urgent need for strong, transparent leadership in the next phase of Global Plastics Treaty negotiations.
As the election of a new Chair approaches, the movement is calling for a process that is fair, science-driven, and grounded in human rights and environmental justice. The mandate is clear: deliver a legally binding treaty that addresses plastic pollution across its full life cycle.
The expectations are straightforward:
— Protect the independence and integrity of the negotiation process
— Ensure meaningful participation of civil society, rights holders, and independent experts
— Strengthen transparency and predictability in working methods
— Safeguard against conflicts of interest
— Keep the focus firmly on the mandate
This moment is an opportunity to rebuild trust and drive the ambition the world urgently needs. We remain committed to supporting a process that leads to a strong, effective, and equitable.
