In September 2022, UN Special Envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions Michael R. Bloomberg launched Beyond Petrochemicals: People Over Pollution , a new campaign that will aim to halt the rapid expansion of petrochemical and plastic pollution in the United States. Drawing on the success of Beyond Coal and Beyond Carbon , Beyond Petrochemicals will block the expansion of more than 120 proposed petrochemical and plastic projects concentrated in three target geographies – Louisiana, Texas, and the Ohio River Valley – and will also work to establish stricter rules for existing plants to safeguard the health of American communities.
