Small Island Developing States and Plastic Pollution

Plastic pollution has evolved into one of the greatest global threats to humankind and the environment. While its impacts on health, food security, livelihoods, economies, and the wider environment are

experienced across the globe, small island developing states (SIDS) are affected by these impacts on a disproportionate scale.

In late November, countries will come together for the first session of

the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to begin developing a new global agreement on plastic pollution. Ahead of this historic meeting, join us for the first installment of our SIDS & Global Plastics Series to hear from a panel of experts on the impacts of plastic pollution on SIDS, and the potential role that the new agreement can play in addressing them.
