Protect our planet! Last chance to join the call for a strong Plastics Treaty. SIGN THE PETITION NOW.
People around the world - from every continent and community - have expressed their support for measures to urgently address unchecked plastic production, consumption, and pollution. After three years of Plastics Treaty negotiations, the world expects global leaders to agree on a treaty fit-for-purpose when they next meet this August in Geneva, Switzerland.
We are calling on citizens from around the world to contact their country’s Minister at the negotiations and ask them to adopt a strong Plastics Treaty that can ensure a future free from plastic pollution.
Industry presence threatens plastics treaty integrity at INC-5.2 as 234 lobbyists affiliated with the fossil fuel and petrochemicals industry registered to participate at the resumed fifth round of negotiations for a global legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution. The following press release was originally published by the Center for International Environmental Law on www.ciel.org.
Plastic pollution requires scientific research to guide effective solutions. The French research group GDR collaborated with scriptwriter Capucine Dupuy and illustrator Bobika to turn their findings into humorous, accessible cartoons - a collaboration we discussed with Professor Mathieu George and Capucine Dupuy.
Since 2022, more than 170 countries have been negotiating the world’s first-ever global plastics pollution treaty. The fifth and last scheduled round of negotiations will take place from 25 November to 1 December 2024 in Busan, Republic of Korea.
Join the communities on the frontlines from petrochemical build outs upstream to landfills and incinerators downstream. See firsthand how plastic devastates natural ecosystems, and destroys people’s health, livelihoods, and peace of mind.
