Thanks to GIZ and #3RproMar for a workshop stacked with learnings from implementing #PWM and #EPR policies & driving behaviour change across #ASEAN contexts. I was happy to share insights into the #PlasticsTreaty process and interact with participants on #JustTransition .

💬 Who are we? What do we do? How are we helping delegates achieve an effective treaty anchored in evidence-based decision-making?

Our IKHAPP team members Emmy Nøklebye and Sara Noémie Plassnig are back from the UN #plasticstreaty negotiations in Nairobi. As part of the Scientists’ Coalition, our team engaged w. member states to ensure #INC3 decisions reflect latest science on #plasticpollution : shorturl.at/egost

New policy brief calls for a just transition for plastics workers, including waste pickers, Indigenous communities, and marginalized groups. It advocates for human rights, social protection, fair pay, inclusive EPR, and support for sustainable material recovery. Patrick O'Hare

Passionate about #environmentalpolicy ? Keen to work on #globalissues ? NIVA's Section for International Environment and Development is expanding and looking for two researchers to join our projects on #plastics and #chemicals : niva.no/en/vacancies

Great to be part of the #INOPOL2 kickoff in Chennai this week w. NIVA. Thanks SRM Institute of Science and Technology for hosting and to all project partners, stakeholders & funders engaging in conversations on reducing #PlasticPollution and #POPs .

After a week of negotiations on potential options for elements towards a #PlasticTreaty in Paris, there is agreement to develop a zero-draft for the the treaty before #INC3 in Kenya! Look forward to following the process and continue great collaborations with fellow researchers!

Join us tomorrow on our side-event on during the #INC2 'What must the treaty text contain to deliver a just transition?'
