The Global Sewage Treaty initiative is led by the Ocean Sewage Alliance, a nonprofit organization with a mission to eliminate sewage and wastewater pollution from our ocean and waterways, advancing equitable and holistic actions that benefit people and nature.

​

Recognizing that sewage pollution crosses borders and impacts shared waters, Ocean Sewage Alliance launched the Action Pledge for a Global Sewage Treaty to establish a coordinated international response to one of the most solvable, yet most overlooked, environmental challenges.

​

Supported by the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation, the initiative seeks to establish a binding United Nations agreement that accelerates progress on wastewater treatment, safe reuse, pollution prevention, financing, monitoring and accountability.

​

As the coordinating organization behind the initiative, Ocean Sewage Alliance helps advance the research, partnerships, and policy development needed to support a Global Sewage Treaty.
