IGES is launching Phase II of the Breaking the Plastic Habit in Asia project to test the effectiveness of behaviour-centred interventions to reduce the use and waste of single-use plastics in cities and communities. The project is conducted in close collaboration with the Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris, hosted by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), with support from the Ministry of the Environment, Japan.
Phase II of this project, through an expanded set of pilot projects, aims to further develop practical knowledge and tools for applying behaviour-centred projects in concrete settings, pilot the use of a new measurement and assessment framework for behaviour-centred projects, and generate a set of case studies to support policymakers, businesses and civil society in implementing behaviour-centred programming to address environmental challenges.
In line with this goal, the Breaking the Plastic Habit in Asia project calls for implementing partners from ASEAN countries to plan, implement and monitor pilot projects in collaboration with IGES.
