In 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly agreed to develop the world’s first global plastics treaty to address the full lifecycle of plastic from fossil fuel extraction to plastic production and consumption to waste disposal. In April 2024, countries from around the world will come together in Ottawa, Canada to continue to negotiate a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty.
The plastic pollution problem is growing. 15 million metric tons of plastic flood the oceans every year. Tens of thousands of individual marine animals have consumed or become entangled in plastic. If we hope to reverse this threat to our oceans as well as our health, our climate, and our future, our leaders must act now. The plastic pollution crisis is a global issue that requires global action.
Tell your leaders: it’s time to tackle plastic pollution, together.
