Uganda: Banking On a Plastic-Free Future Through Collective Action

  • On June 5, 2025, World Environment Day was observed globally with the theme "Beat Plastic Pollution" to highlight the growing plastic waste crisis.
  • This focus arose because plastic pollution has surged worldwide, contaminating ecosystems and human health, with Karachi as a key example facing severe plastic waste challenges.
  • In Karachi, 60 percent of daily solid waste is plastic, some of which is burned releasing toxic gases, while much ends up polluting oceans and threatening marine life.
  • Dr Amir Alamgir cautioned that if pollution levels do not improve, Karachi may suffer permanent harm to its environment over the coming decade and a half, highlighting the extensive health dangers posed by plastic waste.
  • Globally, urgent action includes a legally binding treaty under negotiation to reduce plastic use, with financial institutions pledging support to enable systemic change and safeguard planetary health.
