Join us to learn from leading experts and practitioners about innovative approaches to measuring and managing marine plastic pollution. We will take a deep dive into tracking plastic pollution in cities and oceans, with real world applications and live demonstrations.
Following the talks you will be invited to share your experiences through a breakout roundtable session. There will be three groups: 1. Plastic pollution on coastlines and in oceans, 2. Plastic pollution in rivers and cities, and 3. Policy to tackle plastic pollution.
