Contract for scope-study on a possible financial mechanism for a global agreement on marine litter
Information
Marine waste is recognized as one of the world's growing environmental challenges.
In 2017, the 3rd session of the Assembly agreed to the long-term elimination of all discharge of litter and microplastics to the ocean and established an intersessional Ad Hoc Open-Ended Expert Group on Marine Litter and Microplastics to consider, inter alia, a stronger governance response at the global level.
