摘要：Plastic use and waste is a major contributor to climate change worldwide. While attempts to combat and reduce plastic consumption, use, and waste are addressed, remaining unaddressed is the fact that Indigenous populations are more highly impacted by waste plastic and associated climate change affects. These populations are more adversely impacted at higher rates, which is threatening vital Traditional Ecological Knowledge which in turns threatens cultural foundations and cultural lifeways. Plastic waste in traditional marine homeland areas affect Indigenous populations the most, supportive assistance for community is scant, and escape is impossible for place-based Indigenous peoples worldwide.
