Plastic production drives fossil fuel extraction, pollutes ecosystems, emits greenhouse gases and harms human health. It's time to act. ⏰

The #PlasticsTreay must rapidly phase down plastic production, eliminate harmful products & chemicals, and secure a healthy future for all.

Plastic comes at a cost. But who should pay?  
  
Currently the Global South bears the burden, despite contributing little. 
  
🌍 At #INC5, the #PlasticsTreaty must drive equitable financing to protect communities impacted by #plasticpollution & build a just transition to a circular economy.
