3 days left for #GlobalPlasticTreaty talks in Geneva! Over 120 countries support a health article, but health still lacks focus. We stand with WHO’s @drtedros.who.int s calling on govts to prioritize health. Plastic pollution = health crisis. Let’s amplify our voices—share, tag, and demand action! 📢

@who.int calls on governments to work towards successful #PlasticsTreaty negotiations. Health must be at the centre to protect people from plastic pollution.

We know that health starts with what's on our plates. This new video shows how health care institutions are using food procurement as a powerful tool for community health.
