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

🌍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. #PlasticTreaty #FinanceForFuture #CAPws

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.

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. https://t.co/mGTL1U5QKB

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.

🚨Today is @TotalEnergies Investor Day While in New York, we want to be sure they don't ignore the decades of climate damage they are funding. In the last 6 months, Total has issued over $7 billion in bonds, some it does not have to pay back until 2064! @toxicbonds @350 @urgewald

Thank you #MICRO2024 there is now a global consensus plastic production is unsustainable; we need to shift our science focus from problem definition to solutions. When I started research on plastics I was one of few, now we are 1000s of scientists and many hands make light work!

Mongabay investigates a report showing that many so-called compostable bioplastics do not decompose as advertised. These materials often require industrial composting facilities to break down, which are not widely available. https://t.co/NqFsUszhbC
