On the closing day of the fourth session of the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations, GAIA brought voices from the Global South into the spotlight. From Kenya to Chile to Indonesia, community leaders shared heartfelt stories of their battles with plastic pollution and waste colonialism. Passionately calling for a treaty that truly includes and respects their perspectives, and one that rejects harmful 'solutions' like plastic credits and incineration. The message is clear: real change, not just promises. A strong and binding #PlasticTreaty is needed to protect lives and communities.
Whether you are from the Global North or the Global South, let your voice be heard against the onslaught of plastic. Use the hashtag, #LessPlasticMoreLife.
