BREAKING: Plastic nurdles are washing up along miles of the Norfolk coast, including RSPB Titchwell, following last week’s North Sea collision.🚨

This area is vital for migrating & nesting birds.

We have just days to act before this pollution spreads further.

#COP29 has failed to deliver.❌

Trust is broken as leaders leave glaring gaps in finance and ambition—putting people, planet, and the world’s poorest at risk.

We’ll keep fighting.
