OTTAWA \u2013<\/strong> In response to Minister Guilbeault declaring \u201ca cap on plastic production may be too complicated\u201d<\/a> at the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4), Sarah King, Head of Plastics & Oceans at Greenpeace Canada, said: <\/p>\n\n

\u201cAt a time when we need clear leadership from Canada, we are watching Minister Guilbeault publicly waffle back and forth on Canada’s position on reducing plastic production. Questioning the validity of a cap on production is not only out of sync with its High Ambition Coalition<\/a> membership, it’s out of sync with what the public is demanding<\/a>, what scientists<\/a> are calling for and Canada\u2019s own commitments to protect biodiversity and stay within 1.5C. As the host country of the plastics treaty talks, Canada has a job to do and that is to support strong measures across the board, not undermine them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Notes to editor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Yesterday, Greenpeace Canada ramped up pressure on UN delegates, by delivering a \u201cGlobal Plastics Factory\u201d<\/a> at the doorstep of the Shaw Center, where negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty are taking place. One peaceful activist was arrested<\/a> while denouncing inaction from global governments and the urgent need for a strong Global Plastics Treaty that addresses the full lifecycle of plastics and cut plastic production.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace has a delegation representing more than a dozen countries that will be present at INC4 throughout the duration of the talks. Spokespeople are available<\/a> in English, French, German, Swahili, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa, and Filipino.<\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace Canada\u2019s media briefer about INC-4 is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
