♻️To commemorate the International Day of Zero Waste, the Ministry of Planning and Development hosted an illuminating Distinguished Lecture facilitated by renowned environmental expert, Dr. Rolph Payet, Executive Secretary of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) Conventions.

✳ Zero Waste Day highlights the importance of bolstering waste management globally and the need to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns to address the waste pollution crisis.

👕👖This year’s theme, “Towards zero waste in fashion and textiles”, highlights the need for action in the fashion and textile sector to reduce waste and advance circular solutions.

In his Lecture, Dr. Payet shared powerful insights on tackling pollution, including waste from the fashion and textile sector, managing hazardous chemicals and promoting sustainability and circularity within the unique context of small island developing states (SIDS).

🇹🇹This lecture was especially notable as Trinidad and Tobago hosted the Regional Preparatory Meetings for the 2025 COPs to the Basel, Rotterdam, and Stockholm Conventions.

Let’s commit to reducing waste and embracing sustainability and circularity to protect our environment for future generations!

Less waste, more action! 🚯♻️✅
