AHOEEG on Marine Litter and Micro-plastics 2018: Imogen Ingram’s intervention at Item 4 Barriers to combating marine litter and microplastics, including challenges related to resources in developing countries

“We believe that marine plastic pollution should be prevented, not simply cleaned up afterward. In that respect, discussions on marine litter and microplastics need to consider upstream solutions and address the rapidly rising production and use of plastics in a global binding instrument”.

Imogen Ingram (ISACI/ Cook Islands) presented her combined statement on behalf of the Women’s Major Group during Item 4 Barriers to combating marine litter and microplastics, including challenges related to resources in developing countries, at the Ad Hoc Open Ended Expert Group on Marine Litter and Micro-plastics, held in Nairobi, at the UN Office, on 30th May 2018.
