Hi Friends of 5 Gyres,

After eleven days of negotiations in Geneva, INC-5.2 ended in deadlock and disappointment.

Despite an overwhelming majority of countries calling for an ambitious treaty that addresses the full life cycle of plastic, progress was once again blocked by stall tactics from a small group of oil producing countries.

Still, this fight is far from over — and the science couldn’t be more clear. Join us on September 11 as 5 Gyres’ Dr. Marcus Eriksen and fellow members of the Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty share perspectives from the treaty negotiations, insights from key research, and what’s next on the path forward.
