Science in the crosshairs of industry lobbyists as Global Plastic Treaty talks go down to the wire
The final round of talks in pursuit of a Global Plastics Treaty is due to get under way in Geneva shortly and there's everything still to play for. But as ambitious countries and civil society organisations such as EIA pursue a robust agreement to meaningfully tackle the crisis, corporate fossil fuel interests seek instead to discredit the science and push for a diluted Treaty which will allow them to continue business as usual. To discuss what’s at stake and what we might expect from the talks, Senior Press & Communications Officer Paul Newman talks with EIA Ocean Campaign Lead Chris Dixon and special guest Bethanie Carney Almroth, Professor of Ecotoxicology at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg and a part of the Scientists Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty.
