Green Talks LIVE
Plastic pollution is one of the great environmental challenges of the 21st century, causing wide-ranging damage to ecosystems and human health. With a growing global economy and population, global plastics use is projected to nearly triple by 2060 from 2019 levels.
What comprehensive measures can countries implement to combat this growing plastics issue? What policy packages can target all phases of the plastics lifecycle? What action can be taken at both the regional and global level?
The webinar includes a presentation of the key projections and two policy packages to bend the plastic curve, for a better understanding of the environmental benefits and economic consequences of adopting more stringent policies.
