Poster advocating environmental concerns with the title "Waste Incineration is Not Climate Action!" in bold red and white letters. Features icons and text highlighting negative impacts: "Toxic Air Pollution," "Greenhouse Gas Emissions," and "Hazardous Ash Residue." Logos of organizations GAIA, Center for Financial Accountability, and Zero Waste Himalaya are displayed at the top. The design includes industrial imagery with smokestacks. The image is an informational poster with a torn paper design at the top and bottom. It highlights a study by the Centre for Financial Accountability and the National Alliance for Climate and Ecological Justice about carbon emissions from plastic incineration in Delhi. Key points include 3.4 kg of fossil-origin CO2 emitted per electricity unit exported, and incineration of 735,840 tonnes of plastic in 2023, resulting in 2.1 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Four plants mentioned are Bawana, Ghazipur, Okhla, and Tehkhand. A QR code is present for accessing full research details. A poster from GAIA Asia Pacific discusses investments in false solutions projects related to incineration. It reveals funding from financial institutions totaling US$59.4 billion from 2015 to 2026, with US$45.4 billion linked to incineration. A QR code directs to the Citizens Atlas for more information or reporting. Poster with a megaphone graphic at the top, containing a call to action for governments and financial institutions to align policies with climate justice and zero waste principles. Features a QR code labeled "Scan here to sign our petition!" with illustrated industrial buildings in the background.
