Finishing what the world started at the UN Ocean Conference
Against a backdrop of global uncertainty and questions about whether multilateral processes can still deliver, the countries represented at the latest UN Ocean Conference were largely united on the need for a more ambitious response to the challenges facing our ocean. Here is what needs to happen now.
Addressing the global crisis of maritime plastic pollution will require mobilising investment and support to reduce the production of single-use plastics, increasing the lifespan of plastic objects and promoting reuse and reparability.
Efforts to end plastic pollution through bans and treaties aren’t getting anywhere, but the advent of bioplastics offers hope.
