Trash Hero World is honoured to have been granted formal consultative status at the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA). This “observer status” is awarded through an accreditation from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the world’s highest-level decision-making body on the environment.
As an official observer, we are now among 500+ NGOs globally who can give input to policy discussions and participate in the UNEA sessions. With the announcement of a legally binding global plastics treaty at the recent UNEA-5.2 in Nairobi, it is a very exciting time to join and to be able to give voice to the needs and views of their grassroots volunteer network, many of whom are working on the frontline of the plastics crisis in Southeast Asia.
