Bold Collaboration, Big Impact: GAIA’s 25 Year Journey, Global Insights, Local Action, and the Future of Methane, Plastics, Zero Waste, and More

We’ll chart GAIA’s 25 year arc and the pivotal partnership with NCRA to drive “no burn” zero waste policies in California. From the Global Plastics Treaty to UN-backed methane justice work, we’ll outline key takeaways, including how many “new” solutions are merely repackaged ideas that have been tried, rejected, and resurfaced as false fixes. We’ll look forward to GAIA’s US & California agenda, accelerating methane cuts, advancing composting, and high-ambition plastics policy.
