RT @SchomakerAstrid: Landing the #PlasticsTreaty will take more time, but it remains a critical part of transformative change for #PeaceWithNature.

Meanwhile, #Target7 of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF is a tool to address the impacts of pollution & waste on biodiversity. No time to waste.

Following 10 days of negotiations, #INC5 talks to develop a global #PlasticsTreaty adjourned on 15 August in Geneva without consensus on a text of the instrument.

Negotiations will resume at a future date to be announced: https://t.co/UMv6PZSYL0 https://t.co/X31UbZxWhG - UN Environment Programme

More than half of the world’s land area is in a precarious state, according to a new study mapping the #PlanetaryBoundary of functional biosphere integrity - in spatial detail and across centuries. 38% of global land is already in the high-risk zone. 👇

Outlook Update 10AM CDT Aug 15: An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft has been investigating the disturbance located along the coast of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. Aircraft wind data and coastal radar data indicate that a closed circulation is not present and the center of the system is closer to the coast than previously estimated.

The possibility of formation is falling with only a few hours left over water. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible in the region over the next day or so. https://t.co/Wq6ZtKfHp9
