We find ourselves at a critical moment in time. It is hard to imagine a world without plastic. We know that plastic particles and additives make their way inside human bodies. How can we move forward with an interdisciplinary perspective that involves science, innovation, industry and public policy?
For the first time ever, the Plastic Health Summit will take place in Brussels, the heart of Europe.
Experts from around the world will present groundbreaking studies on how micro-and nanoplastics behave once they reach our lungs and brains we have inhaled or ingested them. In addition to the presented scientific studies, the Plastic Soup Foundation will highlight innovators actively working to prevent the health implications of plastic particles and additives. To wrap up day one, guests will hear a compelling conversation about what the upcoming Global Plastics Treaty could mean around the world, from local communities to regional partnerships.

The Multiplier Effect – Partnering to Accelerate Climate Solutions
In this urgent time for our planet and our communities, the Sun Valley Forum will once again convene and catalyze. Speakers have included policymakers such as U.S. Senator Cory A. Booker and Washington State’s Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, financiers from Blackrock, DBL and Generation Investment Management, visionary Paul Hawken, polar explorer Robert Swan (OBE), energy leaders David Crane and Shelley Cohen, and food system transformers Robyn O’Brien and American Farmland Trust. Resilience takes foresight, strength, adaptability, and innovation to get ahead of risk while simultaneously building opportunity.
The seventh Sun Valley Forum will take place June 6-8, 2022, at the Argyros Performing Arts Center with accommodations at the Limelight Hotel, and is hosted by advisory firm Christensen Global in collaboration with Forum founding host Sun Valley Institute for Resilience. In the wake of fires, drought, power outages and snowfall changes, in 2015 Aimée Christensen founded the Institute to build community resilience locally and globally. The Institute hosted the first Forum that same year, gathering global leaders across industry and innovation, finance and government, advocacy and the arts, to share strategies and spark connections to accelerate resilience regionally and around the world. Since its first year, the Forum has inspired, informed, and catalyzed multiple major projects and investments accelerating resilience, including right in our home community, next door in Washington state, and all the way in Fiji!
Join us for the next Sun Valley Forum to shape the deals that matter!
The Forum will require Covid-19 vaccination and booster as recommended by the CDC at the time of the convening, with vaccination/booster exceptions only for those with Covid antibodies present.
In late September, Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) members spent Climate Week — “the biggest climate event on Earth”— in New York City. We gathered there with world leaders, scientists, activists, artists, non-profit organizations, businesses, and youth leaders to inspire, to collaborate, and to take action to stop climate collapse.
More than 500 events, performances, conferences, and other gatherings took place throughout the city; these presentations, conversations, and commitments were compelling and energizing! Following are highlights we would like to share:
UNGA opens, ‘The Battery Tour’ and ‘Project 17’ Light Up NYC
As Climate Week unfolded, representatives from the UN Member States met in NYC for the UN General Assembly (UNGA). UN Youth World Leader and musician AY Young kicked off the event with amazing performances at The Century Association and in Times Square. We are excited by AY Young’s creative music, uplifting activist energy, and commitment to making the planet a better place. His lyrics focus on themes that empower people and advocate for positive environmental and social change. In his role as a PPC Notable Member and Youth Ambassador, AY Young connects people to information through his art, and models real solutions to today’s most pressing issues, including the climate and plastic crises.
AY Young’s Battery Tour is one of the first renewable-energy powered grassroots concert series that raises money through donations to purchase portable, solar-powered boxes for villages that do not have reliable access to electricity. At the same time, while performing more than 800 concerts as part of the Battery Tour, AY Young is further developing Project17, a music album based on the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each of the 17 songs on the album will represent a different goal with guest performances from 17 prominent recording artists. Plastic Pollution Coalition is proud to be a Project17 Impact Partner.
World Leaders Convene to Discuss and Commit to Solutions
As the UNGA met in Manhattan, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) held in-depth discussions about how communities are taking action together to address the most pressing issues of our time—including the plastics and climate crises. Attendees included PPC Executive Advisory Board MemberHeather White; in addition to PPC Youth Ambassador Xiye Bastida and Sea Briganti of PPC Business Member Loliwear. There, Xiye Bastida presented on stage and was interviewed byVICE News about her work as a young climate leader.
At the “Conversation for the Future” panel, which centered the voices of youth leaders, PPC Youth Ambassadors Xiye Bastida and Sophia Kianni shared their experiences advocating for real solutions to the climate and plastic crises, as well as social and environmental injustice. Xiye Bastida, who is Co-Founder of Re-Earth Initiative, an organization focused on making individual and systemic solutions to the climate crisis accessible to all, also attended Bloomberg Philanthropies’ “Race to Zero” event. There, she spoke about the needs of the climate justice movement and youth to a large audience.
To learn more about how to solve these issues, we heard from Gillian Caldwell, Chief Climate Officer of USAID, who emphasized the need for “systems change to survive.”
Igniting a Culture Shift
As an organization that recognizes the important role of art in shaping cultures and our world, PPC was excited to see actors Priyanka Chopra and Katie Holmes open Climate Week’s Global Citizen Festival in Central Park. After calling attention to the climate crisis and injustice faced by underserved communities, and emphasizing the need to fund climate solutions, the pair introduced youth leaders and climate activists Xiye Bastida and Vanessa Nakate.
That same day, PPC Youth Ambassador Kevin Patel delivered key facts about plastic pollution to attendees of the Holistic Climate Solutions Summit, hosted by the Tzu Chi Center for Compassionate Relief. Patel is Founder of OneUpAction, which supports youth leaders by providing them with the resources they need to become changemakers.
Plastic Pollution Coalition recognizes that the climate and plastic crises are intrinsically linked. We learned much during Climate Week, and feel honored to have had the opportunity to listen to and share ideas with a diverse and dedicated cohort of individuals and organizations focused on common goals: stopping injustice and pollution to create a peaceful, healthy, and just world for everyone.
As we move on from Climate Week, at PPC we look forward to continuing to educate, connect, and advocate for a more just, equitable world free of fossil fuels and plastic pollution. Find out more about our initiative to Flip the Script on Plastics, join our coalition, take action with us, and help us continue to advocate for strong solutions globally by donating today.
Solutions to the climate and plastic crises exist. As Climate Week leaders show us, it’s time to keep showing up, and continue pushing for change.
What: Traditional Louisiana funeral procession to the White House, honoring Gulf community leaders who have died from of the toxic chemicals spewed by the fossil fuel industry.
When: Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 11 a.m.
Where: Meet at Freedom Plaza — 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC
Please wear black to participate in this somber event. We will travel together from Freedom Plaza to the White House, which is about half a mile. There will be signs and other visuals for you to hold, so please do not bring your own.
