Tackling the problem of plastic pollution requires a range of measures at the local, national and international levels. Businesses, government, academia and civil society are bringing innovative ideas, resources and expertise to implement practical solutions to fight plastic pollution.

Keynote speeches in this session will highlight these multiple perspectives. The session will demonstrate coordinated policies, technologies, research and innovation, business practices, and behavioural change actions and initiatives from national and local government, businesses, communities and youth – promoting local solutions to plastic pollution.

This session will also seek to highlight local solutions with the aim to encourage multi-stakeholder partnerships.
