🌍 CIEL was on the ground at #HRC60 because the #ClimateCrisis is a #HumanRights crisis.

From sea level rise to #ToxicPlastics, #FossilFuels to corporate impunity—we worked to center frontline voices and demand rights-based #ClimateAction.

🧵👇

CIEL demands a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty rooted in #HumanRights: guaranteeing prevention, remediation, disaster response & compensation.

We also applaud UN scrutiny of Samoa & Dominican Republic - & calling out corporations ditching reusables for #ToxicPlastics.

The #PlasticsTreaty is really a Global Fossil Fuels Treaty, as global controls on plastics, are global controls on #FossilFuels.

Plastics production has increased 200-fold since 1950 with huge impacts on health The huge surge highlights the ‘under-recognised danger’ of plastics in damage to health, climate change impacts and planet-wide pollution.

Plastics production has surged 200x since 1950—and it's poisoning our planet and our bodies. From birth defects to cancer, the health toll is staggering.

New research reveals gut bacteria may help fight toxic “forever chemicals” (PFAS)—linked to cancer, infertility & more. With PFAS found in nearly half of U.S. tap water, mitigation is urgent.
