Leading up to the fifth and final round of negotiations for the Global Plastics Treaty that will take place 25 November - 1 December 2024, in Busan, South Korea, HEAL together with Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) Europe wrote to all European health ministers highlighting the urgent need to address the severe health and environmental impacts of plastics, including in the healthcare sector.
HEAL has produced a science to policy communications toolkit for fellow NGOs and anyone working on clean air advocacy.
In Advocating for clean air: how to communicate the science we cover the importance and potential impact of using recent scientific findings around air quality in our communications efforts.
With this toolkit we hope to provide civil society organisations with the resources to effectively communicate air quality and health science by covering :
– six common frames when crafting air quality advocacy messages
– examples of scientific findings to communicate
– discussion of target audiences and platforms
– dos and don’ts for twitter
… and so much more.
