Watered down to dilute our demands, the #JustTransitionAlliance condemns the final text of the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty! Check out our initial response, with more to come. We will keep fighting for #JustTransition and are remotivated by the movement relationships we continued building at #INC5_2!

Disappointed & enraged by a process and text that sidelines ambition, but inspired by countries & CSOs that refused to accept it.

No treaty is better than a bad treaty.
