Some plastic sent overseas for recycling ends up as pollution, or goes up in toxic smoke. But there are steps we can take to ensure our waste is processed as intended.
The Mediterranean region, with its biodiversity, climate, demographics, and economic activities such as tourism, agriculture and fisheries, is particularly vulnerable to environmental risks.
The countries of the ASEAN region have important roles to play in tackling the global problem of marine plastic waste.
Economic recovery and carbon neutrality are linked. Both depend on the ocean’s ability to continue to regulate climate.
As more and more plastic trash permeates the oceans, fragments are making their way into fish and shellfish – and potentially into humans.
The presence of water on the Earth’s surface is the result of a subtle balance between different mechanisms in the atmosphere and below the surface.
Marine protected areas will be important for achieving the ocean Sustainable Development Goals.
A high seas treaty could help rebuild populations – but time is running out.
