Fiji is building a national plastics inventory to guide policy. But Pacific islands cannot solve a global crisis alone. We need a binding #PlasticsTreaty tackling the full plastics lifecycle, including production and toxic chemicals sdg.iisd.org/commentary/gues… #PlasticFreePSIDS
By building a national #plastics inventory, #Fiji is strengthening evidence-based policies and transparency. But national action alone is not enough. We need a strong, binding global #PlasticsTreaty

From #India to #Europe and the #EECCA region, waste incineration raises concerns about toxic pollution, resource loss & environmental justice. Governments, businesses & civil society must act #ZeroWaste @GAIAnoburn @No_Incinerators @nontoxcom @toxicslink

Can a polluting industry become “green” by changing its classification? India’s reclassification of waste-to-energy plants raises concerns about toxic emissions, public health and environmental accountability @toxicslink @GAIAnoburn @No_Incinerators

Transparency must become operational, harmonized & accessible. At the #GFC @UNITAR #IOMC @HEJ_Support webinar, we explored how harmonized minimum requirements, #DPPs & interoperable systems can make this happen @groundWorkSA @ssnc_global @CEJADKenya @BANToxics @CeciliaSBianco
Chemical information exists — but too often it doesn’t reach those who need it. Ahead of #GFCIC1, the question is: how do we ensure chemical information travels with products & materials throughout their life cycle? hej-support.org/transparency…

The plastics crisis cannot be solved at the waste stage alone. Our work with partners in #Fiji, #Palau & the #CookIslands shows why prevention, reuse and locally grounded solutions must be at the heart of the global #PlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution

In the final video of our Leadership Reflections series, Olga and Mariann reflect on IPEN's vision for a future where people and the environment are protected from hazardous chemicals and toxic pollution.
What does a toxic-free future mean to you? Let us know!
