Recently I shared a link to a resource on Feminist Perspectives for a Gender-Just approach to combatting Global Plastic Pollution. Understanding the differentiated issues and impacts is critical to fight plastic pollution, especially the health consequences facing women, men, children, and also marginalized and frontline communities of the plastic pollution crisis.

A new digital toolkit is available on the Health and Toxics of Plastics in Our Bodies. The interactive and user-friendly toolkit provides key messages and resources to help forge a deeper understanding of the complexities of plastic pollution and interactions with human health.

We have the knowledge, technology and resources to fight the plastic pollution crisis but need to advocate together and act now to hold corporations and countries accountable for the profound harms to health rights, human rights, ecosystems, and economies arising from the production, deployment, and disposal of plastics. This should be top of mind as we enter BRS and discuss further forever chemicals present in so many plastics, but also in light of continuing conversations for the Global Plastics Treaty this year.
Are there other resources you are using to learn more about the differentiated issues and impacts people all over the world are facing related to plastic pollution? Please share with us!
