Plastic pollution wreaks havoc on our oceans, posing severe threats to marine life and human health. Abandoned plastic items, from bottles to microscopic particles, endanger sea life as marine creatures ingest these materials, leading to fatal consequences and bioaccumulation up the food chain.
The inextricable link between plastic pollution and the fossil fuel industry exacerbates environmental degradation, as plastic production heavily relies on fossil fuels. Fossil fuel extraction not only contributes to oceanic pollution but also fuels climate change.
Persistent plastic waste breaks down into harmful microplastics, infiltrating marine environments and compromising the health of diverse species. Beyond ecological harm, plastic pollution jeopardizes vital industries, impacting livelihoods and deterring tourism.
Urgent action is crucial, with a focus on reducing single-use plastics, enhancing waste management, and promoting alternative materials. A pivotal shift from fossil fuel-based products to renewable resources is essential for cleaner oceans and mitigating the profound impacts of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems and human well-being.

About Climate Impacts Tracker Asia (CITA):
The science is conclusive: climate change will disrupt the natural, economic and social systems we all depend on from global food security to infrastructure and jobs to health and well-being and biodiversity.
These impacts are unevenly distributed around the world, with some countries facing far greater risks than others. However, all countries, communities and companies will feel the effects of climate change. And some of the biggest risks for our society are the most difficult to understand. To meet this challenge, Climate Impacts Tracker Asia commits to publishing in-depth analysis and reports that connect climate science to climate change
