As we prepare for another COP in Azerbaijan, we wanted to highlight how plastic production is on track to consume 20-25% of the world's carbon budget by 2050 —equivalent to adding hundreds of new coal plants. While climate philanthropy has traditionally focused on renewable energy and electrification, an ambitious Global Plastics Treaty comes as a powerful potential new tool to address emissions through plastic reduction.

Thx for this Nicky. As we detail in our forthcoming paper for the Plastics & Climate Project, plastics affect climate through mechanisms other than greenhouse gases, though even those are undercounted. Would love to connect. Are you at the COP this week? Was hoping to see you at the RAN event, but if you're in Azerbaijan, let's meet after Baku & Busan? www.PlasticsAndClimate.com
