Title (original)
National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action - Introduction to the methodology
Description
Co-developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the ‘National Guidance for Plastic Pollution Hotspotting and Shaping Action’ aims to provide a structure for the methods of identifying plastic leakage ‘hotspots’, finding their impacts along the entire plastic value chain, and then prioritising actions once these hotspots are identified. The Guidance sprung from the desire to address the challenge to define an effective strategy to address plastic pollution, in a systemic way. It is aimed at enabling countries, regions, or cities to take and use this structure, or framework, in their own environments.
