Presented by: Jasmine Fournier of Ocean Sewage Alliance
Date/Time: Tuesday, May 19 at 1 pm EDT/10 am US PDT/5 pm UTC
Description: Nearly half of the world’s wastewater flows untreated into our rivers and oceans, fueling biodiversity loss, threatening human health, and costing the global economy over $4 trillion annually. But here’s the good news: it’s solvable. And eliminating sewage pollution isn’t just good for the ocean; it’s good for business. Clean water means healthier ecosystems, more resilient reefs, and sustainable coastal economies because no one wants more sewage in the ocean. It’s a win-win-win. This webinar will present the vision for a binding United Nations resolution that establishes international standards, unlocks financing, and supports countries in ending sewage pollution at its source. This conversation will explore how a Global Sewage Treaty addresses a root issue across climate, plastics, biodiversity, and water scarcity; how a circular approach can turn waste into a financially beneficial resource; and the growing movement demanding global cooperation on this solvable crisis, and how you can join.
