Today, on World Cleanup Day, we celebrate the millions of volunteers taking action to heal our planet. Initiatives like beach cleanups are vital for tackling visible pollution and protecting our ecosystems.
However, a true solution must go beyond collection. A #JustTransition within the context of a circular economy compels us to ask:
🔹 Who is most affected by pollution and landfills?
🔹 What are the working conditions for those in waste management, often in the informal sector?
🔹 How can we shift from a "take-make-waste" model to one that designs out waste and holds producers accountable?
Cleaning up is an act of repair, but environmental justice is the ultimate goal. Let's drive systemic change that leaves no one behind, creating green, dignified, and safe jobs for all.

On #WorldCleanupDay, action is power. But a #JustTransition demands more: systems that prevent waste in the first place and protect waste management workers.
Cleaning up is crucial. Building a circular and just economy for all is the ultimate goal. #EnvironmentalJustice #CleanupDay
