Ending Plastic Pollution Together

Hon. Dr Maina Vakafua Talia, Minister of Home Affairs, Climate Change and Environment of Tuvalu, was invited to speak at the High-Level Side Event: Closing in on the Global Plastic Pollution Treaty, co-organized by Norway and Kenya on the margins of UNGA80.

Minister Talia highlighted Tuvalu’s role as current Chair of the Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) and recent participation at INC 5.2 in Geneva. He stressed the urgent need for political intervention in the final stage of negotiations to ensure that the treaty text is ambitious and conclusive.

“We need political will to close this treaty. The survival of our oceans and the health of our communities depend on it,” he emphasized.
