📢 NEW REPORT! As countries adopt carbon pricing to meet the #ParisAgreement, they might be at risk of #carbonleakage – emissions shifting to nations with lower climate ambition. Some countries have set up various mechanisms in response to this issue 🌎 🔎 www.iisd.org/articles/dee... [1/6]

Off to Busan for the last round of #Plasticstreaty negotiations. Weather seems to be matching the general mood - a lot of uncertainty about what we will have on the table on 1 December and a lot of turbulences expected along the way. #INC5 #plasticpollution
