Stronger together: The role of regional instruments in strengthening global governance of marine plastic pollution’

At this online webinar, the main conclusions and recommendations of the report ‘Stronger together: The role of regional instruments in strengthening global governance of marine plastic pollution’ will be presented. The report is the final product of a research project which analysed the role of regional instruments in combating marine plastic litter and identified linkages of these regional efforts with a new global agreement on marine plastic litter.

Apart from presenting the highlights of the report, the webinar will feature a panel discussion reflecting on the role of regions under a new global agreement. The speakers of the panel discussion will be shared on this page in the coming days.
