This session will raise collective regional voices for solutions to the plastic pollution conundrum.

Following a multimedia presentation, the ‘fireside-chat’ style session will feature messages of urgency, pledges, announcements and commitments from various perspectives – of national and local governments, research and academia, private sector, community groups, youth and media.

The aim is to focus on ways forward and collective actions, examplifying a partnership approach for marine plastic pollution prevention in South East Asia.
