[September 24 Webinar]([link removed])

Dear John,

Just one negotiating session remains in the effort to deliver what could be one of the most significant global agreements in history: the United Nations Plastics Treaty. With the treaty, world leaders now have a momentous opportunity to stop plastics, toxic chemicals, and fossil fuels at the source; listen to and support frontline communities facing the worst impacts of pollution and injustice; mitigate the climate crisis; and more. This fifth and final planned negotiating session (INC-5) will be held in Busan, Republic of Korea, from November 25 to December 1, 2024. In preparation for this critical meeting, intersessional expert groups have been working to discuss key issues related to treaty implementation and criteria for chemicals of
concern.

The question now is whether leaders will rise to the occasion to stem the tide of plastic pollution by crafting an agreement that is strong and ambitious. We will soon see if negotiators will overcome diverging views and the numerous unresolved issues in the current draft text from the [previous negotiating session (INC-4)]([link removed]) in Ottawa, Canada—and this is the time to advocate for a treaty that will make a real difference.

Join us on September 24 for a lively discussion that will tackle this and other pressing questions from the perspectives of frontline activism, policy, art, science, and law. We will be joined by Frankie Orona, Executive Director, [Society of Native Nations]([link removed]); Shiv Srivastava, Policy Director, [Fenceline Watch]([link removed]); and Richard Thompson, Professor of Marine Biology, [University of Plymouth]([link removed]). The webinar will be moderated by Julie Teel Simmonds, Senior Counsel at the [Center for
Biological Diversity]([link removed]).
