On 7th April 2025, the Ghana Youth Environmental Movement (GYEM) held a strategic meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), Professor Nana Ama Browne Klutse, to discuss the urgent national conversation surrounding the proposed ban on single-use plastics in Ghana.  
  
The discussion focused on the environmental impact of plastics, the need for sustainable alternatives, and the role of young people in driving change. GYEM also stressed the importance of a just transition that protects livelihoods and promotes innovation.  
  
The EPA expressed its commitment to working with stakeholders like GYEM to shape effective and inclusive policies. GYEM will continue to lead youth advocacy for a cleaner, plastic-free Ghana.
