Intergenerational Dialogue on Plastics
This high-level event is organised in the framework of UNEP’s World Environmental Day 2025 campaign, focused on the global call to end plastic pollution. This dialogue aims to bring together different generations to explore the past, present, and future of plastics, and to generate actionable solutions for a plastic-free future.
This event offers a unique opportunity to engage representatives, policymakers, and stakeholders across generations to discuss the impacts of plastics and inspire collective action to mitigate this global issue. Key themes and questions will relate to the history and evolution of plastic use; impacts of plastic pollution; actions to address plastic pollution: recycling and waste management; alternatives and solutions.
The debate will foster exchange of lessons learnt over several decades.
This is an on-site event. Please register here by 25 May.
The event is organised by the UN Environment Programme with support from the European Committee of the Regions
