Special Curated Sessions
A global dialogue on guidance implementing sustainable long-term monitoring tools for plastic pollution
A multiplicity of approaches and tools exists when it comes to plastic pollution, metrics, indicators , quantification methodologies and models.
Here we aim to create a dialogue among key actors addressing plastic pollution methods and assessments for policy actions that identify core principles for information collection and tools for addressing policy needs and that inform a future Plastics Treaty.
Through dialogues we can identify the gaps and actions that need to be taken to support the future development of indicators and targets that address plastic pollution which countries can consider in their planning.
