Resources for journalists and other media covering the new Global Plastic Treaty Negotiations (INC5).
This initiative focuses on engaging and empowering journalists, particularly from the Global South, to actively cover the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC 5) process, which is crucial in shaping a new global treaty on plastic pollution. Through a series of online workshops, targeted materials, and resources, journalists will gain the knowledge and tools needed to report on the negotiations accurately and effectively. By doing so, they will help raise public awareness, ensure transparency, and influence policy discussions. The program also aims to amplify diverse voices and perspectives, fostering a richer and more informed global debate on plastic pollution solutions.
GRID-Arendal’s role in this project is to provide journalists with expert knowledge and insights into the complex issues surrounding plastic pollution and the negotiations for a new global treaty. By offering in-depth analysis, data, and research, GRID ensures that journalists are equipped with the most accurate and up-to-date information to report effectively on the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC 5) process. Our expertise helps journalists understand the scientific, policy, and environmental dimensions of plastic pollution, empowering them to convey these issues clearly to the public. This knowledge-sharing plays a critical role in fostering informed media coverage and driving meaningful discussions on global solutions to plastic pollution.
