THE NEW GLOBAL TREATY ON PLASTICS

What Role Should Civil Society Play?

Wednesday, September 7, 2022

9:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm CEST / 4:00 pm MSK

A Pathways through the Plastics Crisis webinar

Organized by Integrative Strategies Forum (ISF),

Eco-Accord, European ECO Forum, and the Center

for International Environmental Law (CIEL)

You are invited to learn about and discuss how civil

society organizations and individuals can help shape

the new Global Treaty on Plastic Pollution now being

negotiated by UN member countries.

Join us for this discussion on the new Global Plastics Treaty

and the role of civil society organizations and concerned individuals.

More than 99% of plastics are made from fossil fuels.

Plastic pollution is a climate change issue, an

environmental justice issue, a health and toxics issue

and one of the major obstacles to achieving sustainable

production and consumption, representing an escalating

threat to both ecosystems and human health. Yet industry,

institutions and households have become so dependent

on plastics that there are no simple solutions.

As the UN, national governments and industry groups

discuss the terms of the global treaty, announced this

summer at the UN Environmental Assembly, the

question stands as to what role civil society organizations

should play in these negotiations. What are the issues

where CSO engagement is most critical?
