About this Summit Location
Lima, the capital of Peru, finds itself in a unique position regarding plastic pollution due to its coastal location. As a city situated on the Pacific Ocean, we witness the impact of marine debris washing up on our shores, exacerbated by significant plastic waste brought through the Andean rivers. Lima, with the most polluted beach in Peru, has long endured contamination on its beaches, rivers, and oceans. However, amidst these challenges, the city presents an exceptional opportunity to implement change-focused solutions. This summit is designed to equip you with the necessary tools to advocate for change through civic engagement, policy initiatives, and empowering the youth. Join us as we strive to create a sustainable future for Lima, embracing innovative approaches to combat plastic pollution and pave the way for enduring environmental solutions.
About the WIND Summit
WIND represents circularity and the potential to transform our global economy from one of extraction and waste of natural resources (linear), to one of continuous reuse and recycling (circular). Plastics, mostly derived from petroleum products, is one product that is causing problems in our environment and is contributing to climate change. This WIND Summit is convening Planeteers in communities around the world to develop campaigns to turn the tide on plastic.
