Lara Iwanicki

Lara Iwanicki is the director of advocacy and strategy at Oceana, an international organization committed to the protection and restoration of the world's oceans. She has been a vocal critic of recent negotiations surrounding a global treaty on plastic pollution, emphasizing the need for stronger measures to control plastic production and reduce pollution. In the context of the recent discussions in Geneva, Iwanicki described the proposed treaty as inadequate, arguing that it fails to address the urgent challenges posed by plastic pollution and merely maintains the status quo.
