Webinar „Faith in the new Plastics Treaty?“

Webinar „Faith in the new Plastics Treaty?“

The world is on the path to adopting a comprehensive plastic waste treaty, following the unanimous decision made by environment ministers across the globe last year. The working group responsible for implementing these plans will convene for the second time in Paris from 29 May to 2 June 2023.

Now is an opportune moment to assess the progress of the UN Plastics Treaty: Can it effectively address the widespread pollution problem affecting our planet? And how are Christian organizations contributing to the process?
