NEW: Yesterday, the US signaled its openness to shifting some of its positions in the global #PlasticsTreaty negotiations in three ways: 1. reducing plastic production; 2. generating a global list of chemicals of concern; 3. setting global criteria to identify ‘avoidable plastic products’ to phase out. If the administration matches these statements with policy action, this shift in positions will help ensure that countries can deliver a meaningful #PlasticsTreaty and successfully address #PlasticPollution. Link to our full statement in the comments.

🌊 Are tides shifting ahead of INC-5? 🌊 The 🇺🇲 said they are changing their position and will support a target to reduce the production of primary plastic polymers (PPP) in the #PlasticsTreaty 👀 👀 But caution and close attention is advised 👀 👀 . It remains to be seen whether this will actually translate into a strong country position in the meetings to come. Public, on-the-record commitments are needed.

Senior Attorney and Human Rights & Climate Campaign Manager at Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL)
📄 Here is the third (and potentially final) iteration of the 𝗨𝗡 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to be adopted by all 🇺🇳 UN Member States at the Summit of the Future this September, with final edits marked with track changes. 🔜 According to the process layout yesterday by the co-facilitators of this drafting, the Declaration will be considered final unless any State objects to this by this Friday (= approval through a silence procedure). ⚖ It is frustrating to see that UN Member States have not fully seized the opportunity offered by the Declaration to strengthen intergenerational justice. 🔗 All relevant documents and information regarding the process are available through the official UN link included in the first comment below.

Today marks another milestone in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion (AO) on climate change. The comments period is officially closed, which means States have now finished commenting on other States' submissions. The ICJ AO, along with the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea/Tribunal international du droit de la mer climate advisory opinion and the forthcoming climate advisory opinion from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity for international courts to clarify State's responsibilities under international law in the context of the climate crisis. To learn more about key climate justice principles, you can read the briefs submitted by civil society organizations to inform the ICJ AO (link in the first comment). We urge the judges to ensure that their AO clarifies States’ obligations under multiple relevant sources of international law to: - Respect, protect, and fulfill the rights of present and future generations - Hold corporations accountable for their climate-destructive actions - Uphold the right to remedy and reparations for people experiencing climate harm, and - Push for a fast, fair, funded, and full phase-out of fossil fuels. #AOLetsGo #ICJAO #ClimateJustice Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change World's Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ)
