Pesticides don't stop at the edge of the farm. They reach soil, water, the ocean, the atmosphere, and accumulate in wildlife and in us. Losing the battle on pollution means losing productivity, pollinators and health. Keynote at FAO yesterday. #OneHealth #BeatPollution #ArgifoodSystems #FAO

Global convention & climate finance needs to touch municipalities as well. Wastewater = ~1.57% of global emissions. 2.7bn people have no waste collection. A treatment plant is a methane project and a health facility. Treated as a resource, it stops being a cost line. #ClimateWeek4 #ResilientCities

Did you know when a waste picker recovers a tonne of plastic, they prevent ~1.45t CO2? No inventory records it. No climate fund pays for it. Waste = ~20% of human-caused methane. Millions already deliver the response. Our systems can't see them. The Fair Ton makes it countable. #ClimateWeek4 #BRS

How can we meaningfully engage and empower young people to be part of the solution? Gateful to @Akansha (India) & @Begimai (Kazakhstan), two dynamic interns joining me in this journey in addressing planetary pollution! #YouthEngagement #EnvironmentalAction #FutureLeaders #SustainableDevelopment

During my visit to Seychelles, I had the privilege of sharing the BRS Secretariat’s “Plastic is Forever. Let’s Get Clever!” books with teachers and students. Empowering young people with knowledge and solutions is key to turning awareness into action against plastic pollution.🌍

Executive Secretary @rolphpayet.bsky.social spoke during the #GEFAssembly in Samarkand on behalf the MEAs. The message is clear: The chemicals and waste agenda has arrived at eye level with that of climate and biodiversity. #MakeVisibletheInvisible #ChemicalsandWaste #BRSConventions

Noting a packed agenda of old & new #BaselConvention issues, BRS Conventions Exec Sec @rolphpayet.bsky.social tells #OEWG15 delegates their job is to review work since 2025, test if proposed outputs are sufficiently practical & robust, & ID what still needs refining before #COP18.

Speaking at the #GEFAssembly today on what the #BRSConventions need from GEF‑9: pollution at the nexus of climate, biodiversity and land degradation — not a footnote. Integration that actually integrates.

🌍 From success stories to unfinished work: Why DDT still matters. Over the past decades, global action on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) has delivered real, measurable results. These are success stories worth celebrating. 👏 www.brsmeas.org/MediaHub/Suc...

Our ocean is in crisis. Yet most pollution starts on land, from plastic waste to industrial chemicals. A healthy ocean is essential for climate goals, sustainable development, and biodiversity. We must #SaveOurOcean. Be part of the solution. Share your views: ow.ly/Kxbr50YvfSi

Disqualified over a snowboard? That’s what happened to one Olympian after PFASs were found in his equipment. These chemicals are used in everything from water-resistant gear to non-stick pans. Under the Stockholm Convention, countries are working to phase out the most harmful PFASs: bit.ly/4at85YI
