Youth

We’re bringing young leaders, youth organizations, and allies together to learn about the Global Plastics Treaty, to understand what it means for young people, and to learn how to campaign for ambitious treaty demands as countries fight for their citizens’ future in this crucial negotiation series.

The Break Free From Plastic Youth Summit brings youth organizations together for a global virtual gathering this April 8-10, 2022. This summit will serve as a platform for youth to discuss revolutionary ideas, to learn about intersectional issues on plastic, and to band together to represent their generation’s stance in the fight against climate change and plastic pollution.

This document was created during the Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) Youth Summit on April 10, 2022. It contains the demands, commitments, and plans of action of BFFP youth participants.

We’ve created manuals to help you map out your school’s policies and journey towards a Plastic-free Campus. This manual will equip teachers and administrators with the tools to implement changes in school or university policies.
