I am in Busan, South Korea to follow the planned final round of negotiations to end plastic pollution with my amazing colleagues Atin Biswas and MOU SENGUPTA The last month has been eventful. We spent a lot of time understanding and disseminating the information we gathered from within India, as well as other parts of the world, and linked them with critical provisions of the existing treaty text. I will be sharing our work in the comments section for folks interested in India: I know a lot of you are :) I am following key articles in the treaty negotiations- global criteria for products, chemicals, financing…. and would be happy to share, discuss and learn more. Grateful and proud of the team at Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi for pulling off what we did over the last few months- Shrotik Bose Aniket Chandra Minakshi S.

3moWe gathered evidence from within the country to help people understand that government agencies within the country have recognised plastics as a harm to human health across the life cycle. India’s position in the treaty is not aligned with its national findings.
