Plastic Pollution - From Measurement to Action : Closing the plastic tap

This is a session of Ocean Plastic webinars about the IUCNs' Close the Plastic Tap Program that is moderated by Delphine Lobelle (Utrecht University) and led by Lynn Sorrentino (IUCN).

The webinar is about the Close the Plastic Tap Program, one of the IUCN marine projects. The project aims to provide national partners with data and analysis to reduce the amount of plastic waste leaking into the environment. Enhance adoption of plastic leakage reduction measures by tourism, fisheries and waste management sectors. Co-generate sector-specific action plans for alternative value chains that strengthen coordination and cooperation amongst different stakeholders along the plastic value chain.

It's a combined holistic program approach that offers tools and solutions to deal with pollution in rivers and the marine environment they aim to do this by informing and influencing public and corporate policies, and their operations; and influencing and aligning stakeholders.
