Across Canada, communities are trying single-use plastic bans, fees and other policies to tackle plastic pollution locally. Some, such as Montreal and Banff, have been ambitious and seem successful so far. But there have been some setbacks in cities like Calgary and Vancouver. Here's a closer look at the range of strategies, what's working and what's not.

Negotiators from around the world wrapped up talks in Ottawa, far from a deal that would address the global scourge of plastic pollution.

As the global summit in Ottawa comes to a close, activists are hoping for a commitment on plastic shipments abroad. Canada exported 202 million kilograms of plastic waste last year, up from 183 million kilograms a year prior.

A new study has found that more than half of global branded plastic pollution can be traced back to just 56 companies, led by The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo.

Progress made when it comes to the protection of the world's forests was thwarted by last year's historic wildfire season in Canada, according to a new report.

Wildfires in the normally humid, tropical Amazon rainforest have been supercharged by a disastrous combination of elevated temperatures, historic drought and deforestation. In Roraima State, in northern Brazil, the number of fires in February were more than five times the average.

Parts of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest saw more wildfires in February than in all of 2023 — and that was already a bad year. CBC’s Susan Ormiston breaks down why it’s happening and why it could signal a devastating tipping point for the rainforest.
