As world leaders gather for #UNEA with the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet,” we must remind them that we cannot talk about planetary resilience without addressing the growing plastic pollution crisis.

In her opening remarks, @unep.org Exec. Director
@ingerandersen.bsky.social commends the CYMG UNEP engagement in #UNEA and beyond and invites them to build on these outcomes to contribute further to #UNEA7. She invites Member States to support #YEA2025 & have young people in their delegations.
Politicians underestimate the public’s willingness to contribute to climate action and green policies. #UNEA delegates were asked to estimate what percentage of the population would say they were willing to give 1% of their income to support #ClimateAction : 69%!! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
What set the stage for the #PlasticsTreaty?
In 2022, UN Member States adopted #UNEA Resolution 5/14, launching negotiations for an international legally binding agreement on plastic pollution, addressing the life cycle of plastic, including its design, reuse and disposal.

The report said: “It is now clear that the world cannot recycle its way out of the plastic pollution crisis.”
