Cap production, not representation! We are on-the-ground at the plastic treaty talks to hear from civil society members, who have largely been locked out of contact groups—where the most consequential decisions are being hashed out. Limitar la producción, no la representación Estamos sobre el terreno en las negociaciones del tratado sobre el plástico para escuchar a los miembros de la sociedad civil, que en gran medida han quedado excluidos de los grupos de contacto, donde se están debatiendo las decisiones más importantes. #MenosPlásticoMásVida #LessPlasticMoreLife #BreakFreeFromPlastic #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty #JustTransition Alianza Global para Alternativas a la Incineración GAIA GAIA Asia Pacific SOCIETY OF NATIVE NATIONS Acción Ecológica México Frankie Orona Jessica Roff (she/her/hers) Froilan Grate Larisa de Orbe

#INC5 Here in Busan, where the fifth round of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations is underway, frustration is mounting. Citing “limited seating,” civil society observers, including environmental advocates and waste pickers who have traveled across continents, are being shut out of contact groups where negotiations are taking place. What happens in those rooms will effect the lives of our families and our communities— we deserve to be heard. #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty #LessPlasticMoreLife #BreakFreeFromPlastic
