GAIA (Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives)

#RememberWhy: It was a historic moment in March 2022 when the United Nations agreed on a mandate for the world’s first #PlasticsTreaty — an internationally legally binding instrument to reduce plastic pollution across its full life-cycle. This would not have happened without years of tireless work from the #BreakFreeFromPlastic movement, GAIA members, waste pickers, frontline activists, and zero waste advocates. We’re weeks away before the fifth and last INC, and we urge the member states to #RememberWhy they mandated a plastics treaty in the first place–- they have the chance to leave a legacy of a plastic-free future. #LessPlasticMoreLife

Did you know that 🍀 Waste methane emissions can be reduced by 95% thanks to composting, bio-stabilisation, and biologically active cover for dumpsites in the waste sector? 🍀Waste segregation and organic composting can reduce methane emissions from landfills by 62%? As we are gearing up towards #COP29 we reiterate our call: the time is now to increase and shift climate finance to scale up and replicate successful, community-led zero waste initiatives that offer the most substantial climate mitigation outcomes. Join the GAIA delegation at Baku Azerbaijan in November as we give you the latest from COP.

#RememberWhy Kenyan President William Samoei Ruto PHD called the plastics crisis “an existential threat to life and humanity” at his opening remarks at #INC3 in the country. 📢Plastic reduction policies need to be part of the #plasticstreaty. #LessPlasticMoreLife #BreakFreeFromPlastic

#RememberWhy 2 years ago, Nina, a 14-year old activist from Indonesia, called on our leaders at UNEA 5.2 to create a legally binding #plasticstreaty that addresses the full lifecycle of plastic. Preventing plastic pollution starts at reducing plastic production. ▶️ the full video! #LessPlasticMoreLife #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Join the webinar on Climate Finance for Fast Action on Methane Reduction and Just Transition in the Waste Sector.

In the run-up to #COP29, GAIA commissioned a report to the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) to identify ways to increase finance flow for methane abatement in the waste sector through justice-centered organic waste management, prioritizing projects that follow the waste hierarchy and delivering equitable finance. In this webinar, Instituto Polis (Brazil) and Yaksa Pelestari Bumi Berkelanjutan (YPBB) Bandung (Indonesia) share case studies on organic waste management implementation in community settings centered on environmental justice principles.
