- Understand what the Plastics Treaty negotiations are and how they work
- Learn how your voice can be heard
- Hear inspiring stories of small campaigns that have made a big difference

Highlights
- Is the treaty text reflective of our relationship with plastic?
- This Webinar is helping us think about eliminating single use plastic and the ways in which we need to prioritise investing in the circular and reuse systems, and inclusive and transparent governance.
- The moral and spiritual imperative that we hold as Faith communities in phasing out plastics and honouring values of simplicity and sustainability is apparent.
- We want to support biodiversity and allow all life to flourish.
- Heard different ways faiths have engaged and the ways in which NGOs can provide evidence-based advocacy and coordinate public pressure and engage directly with delegates at INC 5.2
- Power of building coalitions among different sectors of society and also just the thinking about the moral framing of the plastic crisis and the ways in which we can mobilise grassroots efforts.
- Shared the template letters for national and local policy makers for local faith, social or political leaders, members of Parliament and policy makers.
- We need people at all levels to mobilise and engage together for this to work.
