Over the years, plastic pollution has been narrated as a litter and waste problem in #Nigeria

This is unfair! The Nigerian public need to be informed about the risk to their health from toxic chemicals in plastics

This is aimed to build capacity for journalists

Solar met 75% of global electricity demand growth in 2025. Clean power covered all new demand, so fossil generation didn’t rise for the first time since 2020.

Solar electricity is on track to become by far the biggest source of power.

Road to #Geneva is not just about plastic, it’s about justice, jobs & just transition. If the right deal is struck Nigeria'll be better equipped to leap from plastic pollution crisis to reuse-powered transformation

It’s time for the global community to deliver & Nigeria to rise!

🔥🌍 Today, the “End Toxic Pesticide Trade Coalition” demands to EC President @VonderLeyen, alongside more than 600 organisations, to keep its 2020 promise and put an end to the EU production, export and residue imports of those banned #pesticides.

Finance is never neutral. It either closes gaps — or it widens them.

[CAPws| #PlasticsTreaty @CapwsInitiative]

🌍At the #SpringMeetings #CSPF2025, we asked:
How can finance unlock a just & inclusive global plastic treaty?

From MEA lessons to the role of informal waste pickers—this conversation was a call to reimagine finance for people & planet.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Our global institutions were built at a time when most of Africa was under colonial rule.

Many of them are stuck in those times, unable to respond to the aspirations & rights of the African people.

We can only move forward if we make them more effective, fair & inclusive.

[IPCP - International Panel on Chemical Pollution @IPCPch]

Are you going to the SETAC meeting in Vienna? We invite you to submit abstracts to our session titled "Scientific Input to the New Global Science-Policy Panel," which focuses on the critical role of science in managing global chemical pollution.

The final round of negotiations for the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #INC5 are due to take place in November.
Reflecting on more than 20 years of research on plastic and microplastic pollution, and my experience during negotiations, has brought me to 3 key priorities.

[IPEN: toxics-free @ToxicsFree]

There is wide agreement that the health and environmental impacts of plastics are a global crisis, but many people still have questions about how to solve the plastics problem.
