Promoting Climate News Through Philanthropy: Fund Our Charitable Climate Journalism Endeavors on This Earth Day

Hey there, fellow eco-warriors!

Today's the day we unite to combat plastic pollution, a worldwide environmental crisis that we've been tackling passionately on our platform.

In the past year, we've delved deep into this pressing issue, breaking down critical talks for a Global Plastic Treaty. We've exposed why the last round fell short as well as the powerhouse alliances that will join—and ultimately shape—this summer's summit in Geneva, Switzerland.

Millions of tons of plastic garbage pour into our ecosystems annually, causing havoc on oceans, waterways, and land. Only a comprehensive and coordinated Global Plastic Treaty can offer a robust international framework and foster sustainable practices, reducing waste at its source.

We've also smelled out the greenwashing schemes of influential corporations, aiming to mask their real contribution to plastic pollution. A recent Greenpeace report pointed out that members of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, which includes major oil and gas giants, have produced over a thousand times the plastic they've cleaned up since its 2019 inception.

But fear not, intrepid environmental activists! Governments, NGOs, and individuals are countering the corporate onslaught, with ongoing lawsuits targeting big polluters and demanding justice.

Current Major Coalitions Shaping the Global Plastic Treaty Summit

The current negotiations for the Global Plastic Treaty involve several major coalitions that are influencing the discussions prior to the August 2025 summit in Geneva, Switzerland. These include:

  1. United States: The U.S. position is not explicitly aligned with any specific coalition, but it often takes part in discussions surrounding global standards and regulations.
  2. China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia: These countries primarily provide technical and financial assistance to lesser-developed nations but are not part of the more ambitious coalitions.
  3. High Ambition Coalition: This coalition, comprising countries like Australia, aims to substantially reduce global plastic production. They advocate for global sustainability criteria and standards for plastics.
  4. India: India advocates for a nationally determined approach, emphasizing the unique challenges of each country and their compliance capabilities. It opposes production caps and fees on primary plastic polymers, advocating for mandatory financial and technology transfers from developed to developing countries.
  5. Brazil and GRULAC (Group of Latin America and the Caribbean Countries): While not part of the High Ambition Coalition, Brazil supports an ambitious instrument, particularly if phase-out and fair transition schemes are implemented.
